I would love to see more traditional support for comments in ikiwiki. One way would be to structure data on the discussion page in such a way that a "comment" plugin could parse it and yet the discussion page would still be a valid and usable wiki page.

|
|
|
||
|
|
For example if the discussion page looked like this:
|
||
|
|
|

|

Each header marks the start of a new comment and the line immediately following is the comments meta data (author, email/url, datestamp). Hopefully you could structure it in such a way that the scope
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This would allow:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* A comment plugin to render the comments in "traditional blog" format .
|
||
|
|
* Possibly even support nesting comments by the header level?
|
||
|
|
* A comment plugin to create a form at the bottom of the page for people to add comments in the appropriate format to the discussion page
|
||
|
|
* Still remain usable and readable by people who work via svn.
|
||
|
|
* When there is ACL support you could mark the discussion page as read only so it could only be updated by the comment plugin (if that's what you wanted)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Is this simple enough to be sensible?
