django - commenting app for all other apps

[Robin Lery]

I have an app for forum. It has three classes Tag, Question and Answer.

models:

    class Tag(models.Model):

        tag_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)

        timestamp = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, auto_now=False)

        updated = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, auto_now=False)

        description = models.TextField()

        

        def __unicode__(self):

            return smart_unicode(self.tag_name)

        

    class Question(models.Model):

        short_description = models.CharField(max_length=250)

        description = models.TextField()

        asked_by = models.ForeignKey(User)

        tags = models.ManyToManyField(Tag)

        timestamp = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, auto_now=False)

        updated = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, auto_now=False)

        

        def __unicode__(self):

            return smart_unicode(self.short_description)

        

    class Answer(models.Model):

        description = models.TextField()

        for_question = models.ForeignKey(Question)

        timestamp = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, auto_now=False)

        updated = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, auto_now=False)

        

        def __unicode__(self):

            return smart_unicode(self.description)

I also want to have comments for Question, Answers and also for other parts of my apps. What is the best way to achieve this? I mean, what is the right way to design the django models for this use case? Do I have to use content types for this? Please guide me how to achieve the above mentioned. Your help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

You can use multiple table inheritance. See this question and study how a similar case like yours was solved in another domain, but with the same need for comments:
