Comment(by nd51):
For commenting in Plone to be truly useful, an essential feature is that
moderating of comments needs to be able to be done by something like the
page owner, or, everyone that has manage rights on that page.
The situation where a single site administrator is the comment moderator
would only work on sites with a small userbase. If you have many 1000s
users, then obviously you need those users to be able to moderate comments
made on their pages without the sys admin or site owner being involved.
This also suggests that an option needs to be available to have emails
sent automatically to either the owner of the page, or all people with
manage rights on that page (or perhaps some other way of people declaring
an interest in comments on that page).
We have funding to fix to do this and could fund a polished release of
plone.app.discussion if it contained the above feature and was
3.x-compatible.
We have attempted to get this done via Matous Hora of Fry-IT. Apparently
Matous spoke to Timo at the Plone conference, who was not keen on adding
such a feature into the plone.app.discussion. We're not sure why that was.
We are firmly of the opinion that Plone desperately needs "Wordpress-
quality" commenting, and that that includes moderation by individual users
other than the site admin, and we do have funding to get this done.
We are not keen however on doing this via patches on top of patches and
plugins on top of plugins. We think it should be a core feature of Plone.
Any takers /comments on doing this?
Cheers, Nick Davis, University of Leicester
