SharePoint 2010 - Managing Web Discussions (Windows SharePoint Services 2.0) Equivalent
Hi,
where can I locate the functionality for managing web discussions ( WSS 2.0 ) in SP 2010. I am able to enable the Team Discussion functionality in SP 2010. However we would like users to participate in discussion about documents created in word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation programs compatible with Windows SharePoint Services, such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint, as well as any HTML or Rich Text Format (RTF) file.
The threaded discussions be maintained in the content databases.
Thank you in advance for your kind guidance.

Thank you both for the reply. It appears that the functionality I am looking for is not in SP.
In running a project and or getting team members up to speed on a subject matter/workflow, a set of documents will be published to the site. These will usually be powerpoints / word docs in html format i.e. web documents so that it is easy to fire up.
Below each of these documents should be a window / portion for discussions ( threaded ). This is useful as team members can collaborate with the said key document in view and at the same time provide inputs via the discussion window / section.
The focus is not so much in editing the documents, but to hep team members in collaborating in a project.
I have to research further on this.

Thank you for the screen shot. That looks interesting. I tried to replicate it with the various templates but not entirely successful.
I created Document Workspace and added 2 web parts: Picture Library and Discussion Board
1.Can you please show how it is done? e.g. Site Actions >New Site/More Options> Document Workspace etc
2.Is there a Page Viewer web part?

1."...To put a document there and then add a discussion thread is possible, but you have to open the document to see, what the people are talking about. "
Agree
2."...there are ready for use discussion web parts which can be used in a more simple way..."
Am still searching for an appropriate solution

Got it. Thank you very much. I am able to create a Team Discussion list and add documents. In a document, I can insert Excel, PowerPoint and or Word file as well as any image file. As each document has a "Reply" feature, I can "sync" discussions to the document in question.
That should be good for the project that I am working on.

You can create a blog site, absed on a blog template...
I guess this covers most of the earlier existing default libraries
