The possible solution would be a forum with specific page as
an originated message and users comments as a thread messages.
We use this approach for many years.

But I suppose there are some cases when it's not possible to move the
comment to the main text -- e.g. if the comment concerns too narrow
area, is very specific and is useful not for all people (but still
useful for some!).
Moreover, moving good comments to the main text makes the text bloated
-- what if we have 10 examples of using function aaa() and all of them
are illustrations for different areas? We (ok, sorry, Tom because only
he knows English) will choose only 1 of them to avoid bloating of the
main text, even if all 10 use cases has some specific features...
Hrm. If they're still good comments, what about including a hyperlink to a
pop-up or separate page with some specific information about that particular
point? ("There is more <a href='popup'>discussion on the many uses of the
function aaa()</a>") Bloat for the main documentation could still avoided,
but if read on-line (as the docs are meant to be read?) then access to
other's wisdom need not lost/weeded out.
I could help with (yeah, not with reworking comments -- I do not know
English well :-) ) creating a simple patch that adds a notice "this
comment was originally created for version 8.0" and maybe something
Although, short of above, perhaps this'd be an easier en masse solution?
BTW, then we would add some marking/rating system to the comments to allow
other users see what comment is really useful.
Kind of like digg or something? Where the higher-rated float to the top?
