This seems to be the media lab's "PubPub" platform. Interesting UI. Comments get a far greater role, presenting them on the right hand side and linking them to highlights. There's a revision history, too. Not sure who would want to read prior revisions of a blog post.

I've long wanted online news sites to adopt version control in published stories so that one can review what changes were made after publication. I think it would make newspapers more accountable about changing articles.

It's good to see a slick blog site to accompany their publication.
