Since it's generally better to say too much than say too little, here's an update on what's going on with the commentary business for the docs.
The work on moving the new comment system to infra is now in progress, and hopefully it should be up and running on comments.apache.org within a reasonable time-frame. When it's prepped and ready, it is my plan to propose a vote on adopting the comment system to the 2.2 and 2.4 versions of our documentation as well as the current implementation in trunk. Thus, anyone who still wants to give the system a test spin before it launches are free to register an account and get set up as moderator. Just click on the "log in" link in any comment section in trunk and create an account (don't click the committer link, it doesn't work yet). As we're nearing a possible launch of the system, I wanted to get a few things out of the way, so we can just vote on the issue and not have to discuss all these matters then. If you have any comments, suggestions or objections to the decisions below, please speak up: - A privacy policy has been made for the comment system. It can be found at http://c.apaste.info/privacy.html and it's pretty short and straight forward. - Comments will not be restricted to their separate translated versions of the documents, but will be unified. for example, core.html.en and core.html.fr will share the same comments. Most of us do not speak a whole lot of the languages we have translated our docs into, and I think it's only fair that users are recommended to post their comments in English. If anyone wants to write up a brief introduction to how comments should be made, feel free to do so :) - 2.2, 2.4 and trunk will have their own separate threads. If comments need to be shuffled around or copied from one branch to another, we can probably do that manually. - Every Apache committer using their Apache credentials will potentially be able to moderate the comments. This is on purpose. We want to bring Apache together on projects like this, and being able to pool our resources in preventing spam and answering questions only seems like a good thing.
