I'm actually rolling my own threaded comments system using an MPTT algorithm. Contrib.comments and the django-mptt aren't a really good fit for what I need.
It's taken me a while to get my head around the concept of traversing the tree using the comment.left and comment.right values, but after you understand it, it really seems to work well. I'll try and put some code up on Google code when I get mine finished. I've found this article to be very helpful: http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/hierarchical-data.html And, I've found this book to be invaluable: http://www.amazon.com/Hierarchies-Smarties-Kaufmann-Management-Systems/dp/1558609202/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1223136111&sr=8-5 J.
