We have this with FPC too (select with comments), http://community.freepascal.org:8080/docs-html/ref/refsu47.html#x113-12000010.3.6 this is mostly to submit feedback back to the doc maintainer(s) on a per subject basis, and avoiding a lot of routine work on maillists etc. That doesn't mean the lists can't be used for communicating over the docs, but for trivia the comment system could be handy (though I never heard back from Michael how it works in practice, and _if_ there are any submissions) _______________________________________________ fpc-other maillist - [email protected] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-other
