advanced commenting system

[puik]

Background: Until early 2017 Ajapaik platform was using Facebook Comment for commenting as it was easiest and quickest to implement in the beginning, but commenting was not used much and we wanted to get rid of the FB user limitation, so we implemented Ajapaik's own commenting system in February 2017 based on django-contrib-comments and django-comments-xtd.

Plan: Implementing different comment types:

• general comments
• location/geotagging comments
• dating comments – we already have separate freetext comments for datings, it should be intergrated with the commenting system
• comments about details with IIIF/Mirador? similar to how Pastvu has it (an example with detail comments on an image on Pastvu)
• comments about rephotos

Comments should be in one thread with type labels, geotag comment is connected to a submitted geotag (need for comment field in the geotagging interface), dating comment to a submitted date etc.

Idea: use a custom comment model by inheriting XTDComment and adding choice field. write a function to migrate existing comments to new model

Or maybe use Mirador instead of Annotorious? Mirador has also image manipulation (contrast, brightness, saturation) as well as annotation features.

Should favoriting be also one type of comments (if we want favoriting to be like subscribing so that user will start getting notifications about interactions with her favorite image after we've implemented the notification center)?
