I'm surprised this is a "Medium" priority issue. I've just started using Google 
Sites in a university environment, and the absence of this feature is immensely 
frustrating for dealing with large numbers of students (who must be granted 
editing rights on other students' content to add comments). From searches, it 
appears this has been an outstanding issue for 4 years. Would highly recommend 
it be elevated.

I stopped using Google Sites completely just because of this issue. Providing 
readers with full-page editing access just to allow them to comment is 
completely nonsensical.  Google doesn't allow it on their own websites and it's 
not reasonable to expect us to allow it on ours. Having comment-only access is 
a basic function of Web 2.0 systems founded on user-provided content. It's been 
possible for at least fifteen years. Not having it is a basic design flaw of a 
mission-critical function. Somebody probably got fired over it (or should 
have). That they consider this only a "medium" priority is an indication that 
Google sees its Google Sites product as only a "medium" priority, which says to 
me it's unreasonable for me to rely on Google Sites for anything. It also put a 
halt to my expansion into all Google Apps products. I found other products. 
Google has made it's choice and I've made mine.

see this issue also - which better explains why everyone REALLY needs this 
function

https://code.google.com/p/google-sites-issues/issues/detail?id=109

if people stopped moaning about no longer using google sites because of this 
issue, and instead requested it to be added with a better solution (like adding 
a new user level) Google may actually take notice and do something rather than 
thinking 'well we can ignore that chap, cus he's now using something else...'

Please correct this oversight, it seems like a basic function integral to the 
mission of all google products.  No idea why this isn't getting more attention 
as there seems to be a well developed secondary market to provide this function.

Why not just embed a Google Group?

Embedding a Google Group is impractical. You would need to have a separate 
group for each site page that you want comments on (which could be hundreds) 
and the comments wont be searchable in the site search.

BTW, the issue has now been addresses by the addition at the Google Apps admin 
level to allow viewers to comment on pages.

Are the Google Apps comments searchable from the site main search engine? 
Through the search box on the site root page?

"Why not just embed a Google Group?"

Google group that is public still requires sign in to post or reply, I just 
tested that work around.  EPIC FAIL.  In addition, I shouldn't HAVE to make a 
public group to work around this absurdity.  I am trying to promote Google as 
our technology platform and if I can't find a way for people to contribute 
content without signing in to Google the entire model is another EPIC FAIL.  
Help me to help you, Google.  Give the users what they want and what is 
intuitively expected when we make public sites, groups, etc.
