Hmm. The styling of the comments linked from the numbers on the left at
http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/Main_Page
is much better than the numbers on the right at
https://medium.com/the-physics-arxiv-blog/5e7ed624986d
which are compressed way too thin, to be viable for significant discussions
(eg this long and friendly discussion/collaboration

I'd made a semi-related brainstorm/slideshow, back in October, after being
inspired by the "comment" system in Googledocs, and all the whitespace at

I'm intrigued by the possibility of attaching comment-threads to specific
locations of a content-page.  Eg. having a thread autogenerated, when
someone adds a {{clarification needed}} inline template to an article,
prompting them for a "reason=" as the first comment in the thread.
I have no idea if/how that'd work at a technical level.  (I did run the
idea by one programmer a few months ago, who lamented that it was
'inconceivable' with the current software, to which I gave the obvious

riposte.)

Thanks for the pointer. :)
