The Wiki page on the API Stability says this about the comment system:

Are there goals or docs about what this might become?  There seem to be
enough people using the comments systems that maybe people could work
on a patch (or at least get started in the right direction) if there
were some goals and ideas on what's considered broken currently.

I've personally hacked apart the FreeComment system.  At work I'm
building an internal tool and will need to hack apart the Comment
system.  So I've got a little bit of a vested interested in knowing
where this is going and may even be able to help out a little.

Being that the Forms and Manipulators code is going to be overhauled,
and the comments depend on that, that may be a dependency before any
work happens on Comments.  Even so, some ideas on what people want out
of a generic comments solution would be interesting.

Personally, I'd like to see:

* Combine Comment and FreeComment and by configuration allow the
ability to post anonymously.
* Let ratings and karma be more modular so these can be
enabled/disabled and not dependent on the other (for example, I think
currently if you have ratings you also have to submit a comment.  Maybe
this simply means pulling ratings out completely into its own app.)

Thanks,
Rob
