1. I'm subscribed to all comments, and find their primarily useful to fix documentation mistakes..Comments pointing out doc mistakes become "noise" after the fix has been made - do you think its OK to remove them?
2. There's a lot of useless comments, wwo examples from http://doc.silverstripe.org/server-requirements: "what's nginx?", "Very good".How do you feel about moderating comments by default, and removing comments without informational value?I know this is a sensitive issue (censorship etc.), I would be perfectly happy having a dozen comment moderators from the communityon Disqus, though. I think for this to work we need more guidance around whats regarded as a "good comment" - do you guysknow other opensource projects with comment policies?
3. Moderating comments would go hand-in-hand with fixing documentation issues - any volunteers for looking after this aspect as well?It would most likely involve around 30 mins of work per week, reviewing a stream of comments and making wiki edits.
I would take a page out of the php.net playbook here and go with
moderated comments with a policy. I'm sure many of us developers have
benefited a time or two from comments in the documentation -- they're a
great idea. See:
Re: Disqus -> is there any worry with having a 3rd party (disqus) in
total control of the data?
~ Brice
This kind of feedback gathering would be killer. +1 for that! Requests
for specific examples could be helpful too... as well as an easy means
to aggregate usage examples from the other sites (TRAC, SS Forums, IRC
log [wishful thinking], etc.)
Assuming the continued use of dokuwiki, adding the vote plugin per
page could accomplish half of the above: http://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:vote
However the Disqus system would also work well if maintained.

Ah yeah, how do I log in to correct information in the documentation? :/
