Hi,

Improving documentation is always our priority. What I am suggesting is a 
"nice-to-have" feature in the future. 

This was one of the earlier items that the doc team charted along with other 
things, such as auto-build. 

The comments are usually monitored and responded by the doc team itself.  We 
can definitely do some R&D around Publican to devise such a mechanism.

I felt receiving comments from readers is as important as getting the number of 
random visits.

Jessica, please share your suggestions as well.

Thanks
-Radhika

The questions that come to mind immediately:

- Technically, how would you accomplish this? We use Apache CMS for the site - 
it does not have commenting functionality. The docs are published with 
Publican, which doesn't provide any commenting functionality. 

Now - it's not impossible, but it's a feature that seems less important to me 
than working to improve the state of the docs in general. (Which still need 
work.) 

- Who's going to monitor, and respond to, the comments? Who's going to manage 
spam filtering? 

Best, 

Joe
