Free to comment

by Subhranath Chunder

The commenting system is now available.

Although it is going to be still under development, and more features might be added to it. It's now totally usable by others, none the less.

The current development version of Django does provide a comments framework to work with comments on other existing data models. I still decided not to use it at this point of time. There are two main reasons for that:

  • The comments framework is used as just another Django application (which I don't want to happen in this case), and it's development is not yet stabilized, going through modular and implemention changes.
  • I'm not sure whether I would like to stick to the current system either, and may switch to something like DISQUS. In such a case the porting might be a little less complex.

Although I have certain advanced plans for the commenting system, I don't except them to get implemented until a more matured version of ScratchBlog comes through.
