The property you require is on the child node of Topic. You have the topic node in your hand, and the topic has at least one "fmost" type child nodes. So if you use the JS api to get the children of the Topic, and then get the "cm:title" property of each that will give you the post titles.

A great way to learn about the structure of our objects is to use the Node Browser in the Admin Console of the JSF client. (as admin user only!) Simply browse into the SpaceStore store and down into Company Home->Sites - all the new Share sites are in that folder - then you can browse into the sites themselves and look at the structure of discussions/doclibrary/wiki etc.

Thanks,
