[ckan-dev] adding a feature: comment on data

Thu Nov 21 06:39:27 UTC 2013

Hi Mireille,

there is an extension available for integrating comments hosted by  
Disqus, see https://github.com/okfn/ckanext-disqus. It works pretty  
well.

However, I would appreciate if CKAN would have an built-in comments  
systems that runs on the CKAN server and stores all the data in its  
own database. Disqus comments are IMHO critical in terms of privacy  
and data protection and are not really "Open Data" like. But as long  
as their is no alternative, we need to live with it.

Cheers
Ralf
