Ok sure. That is, unless someone in here with their own server at their disposal wanna take a crack at installing it. But we can get the discussion started over on Meta regardless.
Jeff Atwood is very actively involved on Meta. I could always ask him if he'd be interested in doing a "light" AMA style post, where we ask him open source related questions about Discourse. I actually think that format would make for an interesting case study for Discourse as well, which he might agree with. Shall I ask him? p.s. there is in fact a Discourse Drupal Module<https://drupal.org/project/discourse>. Might be worth investigating for the long term.
