Description Anirudh Sanjeev 2010-04-06 17:39:00 UTC 
Users need to provide feedback on library.gnome.org 

I will add commenting functionality to the generated website by embedding Javascript which will be generated with the website and will instrument all the pages with comment boxes and views of existing comments.

All communication with the server will be done through JSONP as the server containing the comments need not have the same domain, and browsers have cross domain call restrictions.

> I will add commenting

You will? Are you offering to do this work? Have you talked to the library.gnome.org maintainer about this?

Comment 3 Anirudh Sanjeev 2011-02-21 13:01:16 UTC 
Hi,

I should probably follow up, as I made the original proposal ten
months ago. We discussed this a little bit on IRC, and I wanted to add
functionality similar to Disqus or IntenseDebate (where a small JS
file dropped inside the page would give commenting functionality). The
aforementioned solutions work well, but are non-free. Unfortunately
work never progressed much beyond a rough prototype, and since I was
unhappy, I built my own desktop documentation system accessible at
http://tuxtorial.com . Again, that project was abandoned due to lack
of interest.

I don't have much time now to build a Disqus clone - and also feel
that such a system would not be the ideal discussion system because
nobody would check it and respond. If someone made a post in some
gtk-mm documentation page, he'll be much better off posting to the
mailing list, where there will be more visibility.

Sorry for any inconvenience,

Well, I think it would be fine to have a one-email weekly digest of comments sent to a mailing list. In fact, I badly need that feature for bugzilla.
