--- Comment #2 from Jonathan Garbee <jonathan@garbee.me> ---
What I'm thinking is the current comment system get removed.  It is simply hell
to administer even with the Special:Log (thanks fr0zenice) to show you all the
latest updates.

What we would do initially is have a section of the new bugtracker for comments
on the site, then we would figure out how to build a front-end to the tracker
as a new comment system inline with the wiki almost how the current one is set
to display.  From there we could just have a "comment" actually generate a new
report in the tracker.  We could even have the UX allow for commenting in the
frontend as well that way everything is there when it is open.  As an issue is
resolved we can mark it as such in the trakcer and then only the title of the
issue is displayed on the front-end along with some indication that something
is done or a decision on whatever the issue was has been made.

This keeps the front-end clean and *easily* administrated compared to what we
have now.  In order to keep the comment system as it currently is would require
some extra UI work in order to make it clean and easy to admin.  Replacing with
a bugtracker section really does seem like the best idea to me since it
centralizes all feedback on content into a single area.

I will have more ideas on exactly how this workflow will work in the mailing
list later this week for more discussion.  I will comment back with a link to
that post in the archive once it is out.
