Hi,
If the needed infrastructure can be resurrected, I still confirm that I
would agree to maintain it.
The code that was used is in:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/infrastructure/trunk/projects/comments But a DB is needed somewhere, and mod_lua must be running somewhere.
This used to be on
https://comments.apache.org, but it is no more
existing, AFAIK.
I don't know if what is used for
https://httpd.apache.org/docs can be
used for that or if some configuration changes are needed.
I've asked infra in different tickets and mails to Daniel if this could
be resurrected, but never really got any answer.
If their are some security reasons for the removal of comments.a.o, I
would understand, but I've never been told so.
If it is a load issue, scripts and some SQL queries can be optimized to
reduce the load.
If it is a "spam issue" in the comments themselves, I don't remind that
there was much of them.
AFAIK, there is nothing to *fix* (i.e. bug or security issue), at least,
no known issue I'm aware of.
My proposal is to:
- maintain the lua scripts
- update docs based on relevant comments
- moderate comments when needed
If the needed infra can't be set up, I agree with you that it should be
dropped from the online doc, either completely dropped or at least via a
option when the doc is built. (I think that Eric proposed something
about it a long time ago)
But if it can be alive again, I'm still around and still volunteer.
