Christophe,
About a year ago you volunteered to maintain/fix the broken comment system. However, this
issue is still outstanding, and the docs still have an inactive "Comments"
section at the bottom of each page.
Is it still your intent to fix this?
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=62227 is now almost 5 years old, and the
broken "Comments" sections are, to be honest, a bit of an embarrassment.
I would propose, yet again, that we should drop it, unless someone is actually
planning to work on fixing it.
What do y'all think?
Hi,
If the needed infrastructure can be resurrected, I still confirm that I
would agree to maintain it.
The code that was used is in:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/infrastructure/trunk/projects/comments
But a DB is needed somewhere, and mod_lua must be running somewhere.
This used to be on https://comments.apache.org, but it is no more
existing, AFAIK.
I don't know if what is used for https://httpd.apache.org/docs can be
used for that or if some configuration changes are needed.
I've asked infra in different tickets and mails to Daniel if this could
be resurrected, but never really got any answer.
If their are some security reasons for the removal of comments.a.o, I
would understand, but I've never been told so.
If it is a load issue, scripts and some SQL queries can be optimized to
reduce the load.
If it is a "spam issue" in the comments themselves, I don't remind that
there was much of them.
AFAIK, there is nothing to *fix* (i.e. bug or security issue), at least,
no known issue I'm aware of.
My proposal is to:
- maintain the lua scripts
- update docs based on relevant comments
- moderate comments when needed
If the needed infra can't be set up, I agree with you that it should be
dropped from the online doc, either completely dropped or at least via a
option when the doc is built. (I think that Eric proposed something
about it a long time ago)
But if it can be alive again, I'm still around and still volunteer.

If you object to this, or wish to go fix the comments section, please
speak up.
Since this is a significant change, I'm going let this sit for a few
days, so that there can been some comment/feedback. Of course, it can
always be reverted if someone does want to fix the comments tool in the
future, but I think this warrants (at least the opportunity for)
discussion.

I would love the comment system to be resurrected.
There are a few Jira tickets about it.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-12018
is the one that is still opened.
I've never had any feedback of why if was down.
Neither via Jira, nor by mail.
If it is a question of time to maintain the lua scripts, I volunteer.
If it is a question of moderation, I volunteer.
If it is a question of "could be improved" on the admin side of the
scripts, I volunteer.
If it is a question of load on a server, a few things can be optimized
on the existing code base.
I guess that Infra is needed to have it live again. So if the shutdown
is related to something else (security for example), well, if infra does
want, nothing much can be done.
I think that the comment system was (is) great, easy to use and useful
to get feedback on the doc (and sometimes on some wanted functionalities)
Just my 2c, hoping some others share my point of view and that infra can
get it back.
