I was just thinking about the comments feature of the Solr Reference Guide
(e.g. Confluence).  On one hand it's a nice feature that also allows
non-committers to be involved.  But, over time, couldn't it easily get out
of hand (as-implemented)?  That is... as a series of ever-growing comments
that make the page longer and longer, it seems it *could* become a bad thing
over time.  It isn't a problem now on the pages I've seen.  It's easy to
falsely make a like-kind comparison to JIRA issues but there is a big
difference because JIRA issues become closed!  A reference guide page will
likely live forever.  Perhaps my concern could be addressed in a
presentational way, like if you consider that MediaWiki has a separate
screen/page for this kind of thing; and as such I think is more manageable
then growing the original page forever.  I checked for a Confluence plugin
for that but turned up nothing obvious in Atlassian's plugin marketplace.

So I may have commented on a page in the past but I have no intention in
adding any more.  If I have a comment; I'll make it on the dev list.
