I do not feel strongly either way about this, but the last time I remember a discussion about leaving comments on the vim scripts site, we eventually decided on the dedicated wiki pages for a few reasons: * easy to do, virtually no setup * support from Wikia for maintenance if needed * support from Wikia for spam fighting with decent filters already in place * Bram went ahead and created the link and people started creating pages (becoming the de facto method of choice) I don't want to see a whole bunch of effort put into something that won't give us much more benefit. I especially worry about spam. Although some high-traffic sites can rely on things like voting down bad comments, I doubt vim.org gets that kind of traffic. Spammy contributions and comments were one of the main reasons for moving the tips to wikia back in 2007 or whenever that happened. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
