Hi everyone,

I'd like to announce the 0.1 (i.e. alpha) version of a Django
application that allows for commenting on a document.  I think it is
pretty stable code (at least for my use case, which is writing a
scientific book that relies on reader input).

The application is called "ucomment", and is available from
http://ucomment.org - that website uses the ucomment code to run.

Requests for similar functionality have been made to this list
previously.  A long, interesting thread was this one,
http://groups.google.com/group/sphinx-dev/browse_thread/thread/9800118a9f4e8672/edc4f864310a2247
 Many of those features appear in ucomment, others are on my to-do
list.

I recently found out that there was a similar "web-support" GSOC
project in 2010.  It would be great if this BSD-licensed code can be
used - in any way - for that project. If not, I hope that ucomment is
useful to other people on this list.  I know that Sphinx has been a
tremendous benefit to me, so thanks to the Sphinx and restructured
text developers for this fine tool.

Some of the features of ucomment are:

* Database-driven commenting on every node in the document.  A node is
a paragraph, bullet point, figure, table, admonition, etc
* Server side search of the full restructured text document
* Revision controlled documentation
* Completely templated, so you can adjust the site's appearance

I will fix bugs and respond to update requests. Also, I will
appreciate any feedback regarding the code quality and suggestions for
improvement.  Please file those here:
