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?
