One of the features we've wanted on BigAdmin for a long time is the ability to comment directly on BigAdmin content. Infrastructure limitations, cost, or overhead made it difficult. This drove us half nuts because an awful lot of other sites allowed readers to post comments.

Since an awful lot of the comments were of this nature...

Pee-Wee Herman's Big Adventure

...we weren't too terribly upset.


That didn't stop us from wanting the capability to post comments, though. When Sun launched its wiki, we were able to hack together a comments page there. You could read an article on the BigAdmin hub, and post comments about it on the BigAdmin wiki. But it was kinda like spray painting "Francis is a Big Jerk" on the other side of town.

(No, this is not a picture of Rush Limbaugh as a young man.
I swear!)

Well, Robert finally figured out how to hack together a better solution. When you post a comment, it still lives on the wiki, but now it's fed back into the article so that it's visible for everyone to see. For example (scroll to bottom of article):

Patching a Miniroot Image on the Solaris 10 OS for x86 or SPARC Platforms, by Enda O'Connor

Check it out and tell us what you think.
