Hi,

I'd like to make a suggestion about the build in comments framework.
Right now, even though you can write your own extension to the
comments framework, it is always tied to database models. I am trying
to build an extension that uses the API offered by Disqus, meaning I
don't want to use the local database to do a count of comments, get
the list of comments, etc.

If Django's comments framework would offer an API that is one level
above the database models, we could write our own functions that
implement getting comments, saving them, do a count of comments for
the object, etc.

I understand that a logical reaction to this suggestion would be to
just not use Django's comments app, but roll my own. But I want to
integrate the Disqus comments with existing apps, that already use
Django's system to, for example, show the count of comments on blog
articles in the admin interface. Django-blog-zinnia does this.

I am looking forward to any comments and ideas. Is something like this
even possible without completely breaking backwards compatibility?

Kind regard,
Kevin Renskers
