Sounds good.  Now on to actual implementation details and questions, in the 
interest of doing this in the "OpenInteract" way :)  Its possible we could 
be able to release this code back. (Well, maybe.  After all the hubub about 
whether we can get code back to the community easy from here, my boss comes 
in with this job and says "hey, we need this done quick, you can do it 
however you like.  And we can probably open source it as well")  But we 
can't make any promises until its actually released back to the community, 
of course ;)

The way that I'm probably going to implement this is with a generic 'story' 
type mechanism.  I think of one big document that people can comment on 
much as a multi-part story on a site like kuro5hin or slashdot.  So this 
would probably require a few new pages, to post the full text and parse for 
comment sections (the current code looks for certain html tags and puts 
comments when it finds them), a page to show it all at once with comment 
links, and the ability to show only one section at a time with comments for 
that section.

I seem to recall you (Chris) talking about the comment module being able to 
attach to any object in the system, which is why I thought this way might 
work well.  Is that the case?

I will also need to add some features to the comment mechanism like topics 
for the comments, ability for a logged in user to only see their own 
comments, and a display of only comments in topics a person has permission for.

Thanks for the input!
