[Openinteract-dev] Document Review implementation questions

[Andrew H. <hu...@ll...>]

Hey all,
   I'm just about to start work on the changes I've been mentioning this 
week, and I have a couple questions before I begin.

1. I noticed in the TODO for the comments package you list "resist feature 
creep" :)  Should I fork another comments package from that (maybe call it 
comments-creepy) that includes the changes I've mentioned, topics for 
comments, comment default security, etc.?

2. Would you rather me modify the news package to allow uploaded files and 
paginate the articles or would you rather have a basic 'document' package, 
that would have the features mentioned before (splitting into parts based 
on html, uploading files, etc.).  I'm leaning towards the latter, since it 
would allow an easier 'all-in-one' interface for editing a document all at 
once, or editing an individual part, etc.

3. When I worked on Scoop we had a var (essentially a feature toggle, on or 
off if you want it enabled) for everything under the sun, configurable 
through an admin interface.  I've noticed no real such thing in OI, other 
than the action.perl and server.ini files.  I was thinking that the comment 
topics should be able to be turned on and off, I don't think that everyone 
would need that.  Any suggestions on where to put this flag?

Thanks for the input.
