Feedback on alternate comments app
jfroehlich
A few month ago I did an own comments app, because the application
included with django doesn't have all the features I needed but a lot
of stuff I don't need. This one has a very simple base model, is
extensible and it uses the new forms framework. I'm planing to add
more features like support for spam filtering and email notification.
But for now I'd like to hear your opinion and ideas for enhancements.

Well there was this thread [1] about a contrib comments rewrite and
Jacob responded that he had something to show in the near future.
Because of that I thought about waiting for a few weeks. But until now
nothing happened and I didn' had the time to cleanup (unicode support,
small fixes) and release my code for review.
I posted it into django-developers because I'd like to hear feedback
from the core developers. If you like that code or if Jacob finds some
interesting pieces in it you are welcome to use it in django. Sorry
for not telling about this in the original post.

what about features? Do you have more than
django comments + django-comment-uils?
If not, I don't know why one should use this.

At the moment it is of course not as powerful as django-comments and
django-comment-utils together. This is because it is still a draft. I
was waiting for what Jacob is coming up with. Anyway it wouldn't be
difficult to make it work with django-comment-utils. They could even
be integrated with it.
My app doesn't include karma, ratings, user flags etc because this
wasn't the design goal (but can still be added later). Instead it uses
the new forms framework and you can extend it with your own models and
forms. Take a look at [1] for more details or download the source.
