Look at a discussion page here or eg on wikipedia. It tends to turn into a
|
|
mess. One nice way to avoid the mess would be to set it a discussion page
|
|
as a blog so each new comment is a separate post.
|
|
|
|
One issue is, would there be a way to do this for all new discussion pages
|
|
by default somehow? Setting up the blog means inserting a preprocessor
|
|
directive; and that could somehow happen automatically when the discussion
|
|
page is first created. (Creating a bunch of empty discussion pages with
|
|
such directives ahead of time would be silly.) Maybe some kind of new page
|
|
template system would do the trick, so pages matching */Discussion start
|
|
off as a clone of DiscussionTemplate. Although the first person to try to
|
|
create the discussion page would still end up in an edit page with that
|
|
template, which is not ideal. Hmm.
|
|
|
|
Thinking about this some more, discussion links for pages that don't yet
|
|
have discussion could go directly to the ikiwiki cgi, which could provide a
|
|
post form, and create a new discussion page with the necessary inlining.
|
|
|
|
Another issue is that discussions really want to be threaded. Does that
|
|
mean that a page like foo/discussion/question should have its own
|
|
foo/discussion/question/(discussion?)/answer page? Of course, rss feeds
|
|
don't handle threading, and of course doing this might be dependant on the
|
|
issue above. Worrying about threading may be overkill.

I don't think that the nesting is very clear, I found it confusing..
