Description Viktor Sarge 2013-06-18 16:32:28 UTC
The news function could benefit from the ability for patrons comment on individual news. This would even make the news a viable replacement for a separate blog for many libraries with the additional benefit of keeping the blog integrated with the opac. 

A starting point of functions: 
* The ability for logged in patrons to create a comment. 
* A system parameter to turn comments on/off. 
* Displaying comments on the users profile in opac. 
* Checking "notify me of follow up comments" should communicate additional comments on the patrons profile in opac. 
* Integration with external spam-filters (at least if we allow anonymous comments). 
* Perhaps the ability to comment anonymously while not logged in? Might need to be thought through.

I'd say that http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7843 is related. Adding both comments and RSS to the news would make a blog redundant for many.
