Thanks for pointing this out Max! Somehow it won't work on my Opera
(and that explains why I haven't seen it before), but it's nice
anyway and it definitely is better than keeping the comments at the
bottom of every page.

Assuming that I will do something similar to what I see at Django Book
site, I wonder now if we couldn't mix comments and "change suggestions"
features together. In both cases we should provide a way for developers
to discuss the suggestions and to accept or reject them.

What about adding some attributes to each comment, like:

  - type (typo or missing sign / grammar or style problem / wrong 
description / bad code / proposal)
  - status (open / accepted / rejected)
  - priority (low / normal / high)

Then we could use different colours for the baloons (as it is called
in Django Book) to indicate the kind and state of a problem.
There may be many different comments under a single baloon
with various types, statuses and priorities, so the colour
of the baloon should rather tell us if there is any open
comment for particular block and what's the priority of a comment.
I imagine that we could use three tones of red (each
indicating different priority) for open comments, and some other
colour if there is no open comment.

But the question arise: who should be able to change the status
or priority of a comment? Everyone or only logged in users?

Kind of file attaching?


Thanks for your input,
