Comments

Requirements

The Open Municipio platform needs a commenting system. Main requirements:

  • user generated contents will be moderated
  • moderation means to unpublish a content without deleting it from the database
  • the system must be customizable for future improvements/changes

Alternatives

We took into account a few alternatives:

  • Django's comments framework
  • django-threadedcomments
  • django-disqus

Final choice

Django's comments framework (django.contrib.comments) does fulfill all our requirements, is rock solid and has a broad user base. As such, it will be our choice.
