Commenting restored
Commenting is back, this time based on the Disqus cloud based commenting system. Plone does provide a fairly reasonable commenting infrastructure, however I couldn't find an easy way of turning it on for database item entries which weren't written to support individual commenting, so I simply took the easy option and hacked in the disqus support javascript into the database item entry display TAL. I then installed a Plone plugin which replaces the default commenting system with Disqus across the site, and problem solved.
Last thing needing fixed is calculating the leaderboard. I'm not sure what to do here ... I'd like some text up front explaining the selection criteria, but haven't figured out how to do this quite yet. I'm getting there though :)
