Project Discussions are used by project teams to create and discuss relevant topics in a collaborative, online environment.  All Collaboration projects have a Discussions listing page.  

Info

It is important to note that project discussions are different from announcements.  A project discussion post has the expectation of dialogue and collaboration.  A project announcement is information that is relevant to the project team, but the poster does not expect to get replies or have a dialogue about the post.

TM Forum also has community discussions, which are used by TM Forum Members and Non-Members to have conversations with and learn from their peers in the industry. This is where TM Forum users come together to share thoughts and ideas on topics that matter most to your company and to you personally. Typically, more general discussion occurs at the community level.
