Enabling comments on tiddlers

[Danny]

I'm wondering what if anything people are using to enable commenting
on tiddlers (my personal interest at the moment is enabling comments
for a blog / weblog plugin) - obviously this wouldn't be directly to
the TiddlyWiki file, but several non-free Commenting Services seem to
exist that use JavaScript to achieve this effect:

Disqus - http://disqus.com/
Intense Debate - http://www.intensedebate.com/
JS-Kit - http://js-kit.com/

Comment Widget is the only code I could find that implements a
commenting service that seems to be free software ("CommentWidget
isn't released under a particular open source license. You can do
whatever you like with the code, anything at all." -
http://www.trailbehind.com/comment_widget/documentation)

Comment Widget - Easy Ajax Comments

Anyone know of any other libre commenting software, or have other
ideas on how to enable web-based comments from anonymous (but
preferably screened-for-spam) posters?

Just found http://tiddlywiki.org/wiki/Reader_Comments and also
http://symbio.sourceforge.net/ looks like a possibility (although
sourceforge is down at the moment so hard to tell), however would
still love to hear what if anything other people have working :-)

I've just updated that to include Mike's CommentsPlugin (not sure the
URL points to the latest version though).

That URL is making SourceForge act weird. This works for me:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/symbio/

I'd never heard of that before - if you give it a try, please let us
know what you think.

Thanks - so far running TiddlyWeb - http://tiddlyweb.peermore.com/wiki/
- and http://tiddlywiki.mahemoff.com/CommentsPlugin.html (I think this
is the one you recently added) looks like the only solution that
wouldn't require a lot of coding.

Also the RSSTags plugin mentioned at http://trac.tiddlywiki.org/ticket/773
seems to be a necessity for running a blog that won't annoy people,
however I can't find it anywhere. It looks like
http://tiddlywiki.bidix.info/#GenerateRssByTagPlugin may do something
similar, so going to try it out.

That URL works, and shows an announcement that "as of 2008-04-30
00:00, this project is no longer under active development". Also,
latest release is from 2004, and the doc mentioned at being at a URL
in the tarball isn't actually at that URL, and it's all in perl, so
I've given up on that.
