Pagination #58

How can we use pagination, for example endless-pagination with the current threaded comments?

This can be helpful when there are large number of comments and more comments are loaded via AJAX only when required

Agreed, this would be useful.

Endless pagination requires JavaScript and is thus somewhat opinionated. If you want this feature, I think it would make sense to integrate the UI bits into https://github.com/edoburu/django-fluent-contents/ That app builds on top of threadedcomments to provide a better UI experience. The required API hooks for splitting the comment list should be in here (django-threadedcomments), since that's just backend material. That would allow everyone to create their own UI on top of it. django-fluent-comments is just one of those, designed to provide a nice out-of-the-box experience.

Next to the template tags, some extra ajax views need to be exposed in urls.py
