Sorry, Dag. I don't agree here. Small changes could be communicated with the Original Author (that's what I am doing, at least and I feel comfortable with). General Discussion should go to the list. If you want to implement a comment system, it has to offer at least a few capabilities, like: Allowing users to edit or delete their own comments. Administrators should be able to review/edit/delete all comments. > Also a comment system can be moderated by a group of people, while private > email/messages may get lost. Then we also need a list of recent comments all over the wiki and the capability to mail changes to the admin group, too. Best Regards Marcus
