I would question how much of the wiki toolbar is really required in a comment field. We should encourage succinct comments; too many formatting options distract from that in my experience. This is different from other wiki formatting fields where a clear visual hierarchy of information in a single textarea is necessary. The project Anoop will be working on[1] should make the comment preview superfluous. - Joe [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMDEV-92
