make jkan social?

[iltempe]

what do you think to make Jkan more social? I mean include the possibility to create community, comments the datasets published. is it a crazy thing?

[jalbertbowden]

isn't there a plan to implement disqus? i think this is a novel idea, especially allowing signup/in via 3rd party like github/stackoverflow/etc.

[iltempe]

yes! disquis should be an idea, I mean, my portal is intended for "normal people" that are not part of governements staff so social should be nice.

There was an issue #5 for adding disqus (which can certainly be done) but there is also already a setting to turn on hypothesis which not only also for threaded conversation but annotation of any content on the site, just change the hypothesis setting in the _config.yml to true:

I think adding disqus comments would be a great addition. It also seems pretty straightforward to do. Would anyone like to give it a shot?

[iltempe]

I've added the possibility to make comments with DISQUS on datasets.

It's just a question to set a tag in the dataset md file, "comment: true" and in _config.yml your disqus shortname.

In dataset.html page i've inserted the JS code to enable disqus where comments are enable.

you can look everythig on http://iltempe.github.io/opendatagentediprato/datasets/

you have a pull request on jkan, please verify wich changes you need.

@iltempe Looks good with the disquss comment sections. Can you explain a little bit more on how to incorporate this functionaility?

https://staticman.net has a good approuch about this.. take a look.

Wow that's a pretty cool approach! Feels more jekylly than something like disqus would, which is nice.
