This functionality would be achieved if the existing docs web notes worked properly. While I haven't tried adding to them, it sounds as if there are problems at the moment. However solving these problems would give a mechanism for adding user's comments to the docs, while allowing RunRev to moderate or incorporate as they see fit. It also provides the mechanism for having these user comments as part of the Revolution IDE rather than having to remember to start up another application and go to a web page to check whether there are any existing comments.
