RFC Comments v1.0.0

[egabancho]

WebComment is the legacy commenting engine which allow users to add comments to records in the form of a discussion.

The current main features are:

• [ ] Replay to comment
• [ ] WYSIWYG/Markdown editor
• [ ] Filtering by text
• [ ] Filtering by file and version association
• [ ] Attach files to comments
• [ ] Associate comments to record files and versions
• [ ] Subscription to a comment
• [ ] Soft commenting deadline
• [ ] Custom extra headline for comments
• [ ] Collaps expand comments (persistent per user)
• [ ] Report abuse (+ admin tools)
• [ ] Subscribe to the whole discussion
• [ ] Subscribe to a single comment (should we subscribe users to their own comments by default ?)
• [ ] Post replies to comments over email

It would be nice if the new implementation is more flexible allowing comments to be connected to a document (or anything) directly.

One possible solution would be to build an extension that uses any of the existing commenting engines like isso(written in python) or Disqus.

But I think we should also allow custom implementations as some of the functionalities we are using right now are quite hard to find.

Do you mean comment thread?

Yes, for example I want to receive a notification if somebody posts a reply to a comment I made but not from a general comment in the main thread
