The 711 unique comments submmitted to the Copyright Office on the "Orphan Works" question have been posted. This is a fantastic response. The comments of Creative Commons are posted here. Thanks to the Free Culture Movement, EFF and PublicKnowledge for running the Orphan Works site. Now maybe we should get a wiki going to have a collaborative analysis of the comments?

My web host (friends of mine) unplugged the comments module after the first 1,000 spams came in within two hours. I think you can still read comments but you can't write them. I'm going to try installing David Raynes' script that lets you turn off comments on scripts older than n days until I can install James Seng's script that will require commenters to type in a verification code displayed on the page. Thanks to BurningBird, who also offers a MySQL command that will strip out all comments between two named times. In the meantime, if you need to reach...

Gary Burd: I recommend extending Mombo's comment file format to include more fields than title and body. The attribution information should be moved to one of the new fields and be formatted by the template.

I love it!  Gary, how hard would it be for you to come up with a weblogging package that has roughly the same functionallity as mine that you could live with?  I'd love to collaborate with you.  If you feel likewise, feel free to use as little or as much of my implementation in this endeavor as you see fit.

Could you host a cvs repository on your site?  Or would you prefer it elsewhere?

Perhaps we can get Joe to join us.  ;-)

On comments and webl0gs 01/22/2004 02:18 PM

I've thought a lot about comments on weblogs over the years, and for a mailing list I'm on, I finally summarized some of my thoughts. Since it might be useful for others, I'm reposting them here. They're a few questions I ask myself related to enabling comments on weblogs posts I make. With the proliferation of commenting-ability in today's weblog tools, it might make sense for people to think a bit before blindly turning on comments, whether for an individual or group blog.

1. Do I want feedback on what I'm writing?
I never turn on comments on megnut unless I specifically want feedback, and I'd encourage people to think about this when they're posting to their sites as well. Are you writing about something that can engender a discussion? And do you want to have a discussion about it? Not everything needs a discussion, and if it doesn't, think about disabling comments for a post, if only to avoid spammers and trolls.

2. Do I have time to manage a conversation right now?
It's easy to turn on comments, it takes work to host a discussion. Especially when the post is controversial or inflammatory, the poster needs to be prepared to stay on top of the thread. Do you have the time to nurture that discussion and keep on top of it, delete the trolls, refocus the discussion when it gets derailed, etc.? If not, perhaps posting, or turning on comments, isn't such a good idea. I know I try and help out if I see a thread going awry but I believe it's the poster's responsibility to make sure her thread stays on target and remains as civil as possible.

3. Is this conversation over?
There comes a point in every thread when the conversation is done, either because posts have petered out or because it's gotten so out of control and unpleasant that it needs to end. Either way, the poster should go back in and set comments to "Closed." This will prevent people/spammers/trolls from posting in old threads, and keep the discussions alive and active on "current" posts.

Rather than just having a blanket rule -- whether that's "comments on" or "comments off" -- it would be nice if we could consider these questions before posting. Turning on comments is an opportunity and a responsibility.

We're taking a brief time-out on comments while we decide what to do about the trolling behavior of a tiny number of readers. I can't accept what's been going on: multiple postings under different names by at least one person who uses the comment system mainly to launch gratuitous personal insults rather than discuss the issues. (We've banned his IP address, but I'm sure he'll be back with another one soon, as he seems to have done before.) The insults are trivial. They tell you more about the person writing than about anything else. But I have heard from readers who find the trolling a deterrent to coming here, or at least to reading the comments area. It's regrettable that the incivility of one person can cause such damage. Perhaps when we install an upgrade to the blog software we'll be able to at least partially solve this problem via a registration system. For today, at any rate, we're taking a breather.

Comments on Why the US Needs Immigrants 01/08/2004 08:24 PM

Hmm... the immigration piece below seems to have triggered a bug that we've seen before in Manila, the software that Harvard runs for its blogs.  Comments go into the database somewhere but they aren't linked.  So I've cut and pasted a couple of my favorites here and anyone who wishes to comment on the piece below can do so here...

Matthew T: A more significant difference that will prevent the US from going into Argentine-style collapse in the near term is that US debt is designated in the US currency. As the dollar falls, US foreign debt doesn't grow, the trap that Argentina fell into. In the longer term, foreign trade will be conducted in a strong currency from a large economy: if the domestic plan is to inflate away the deficit, the Euro will usurp the dollar's central role.

John: According to Philip's logic, the great depression should have never happened. Was the US substantially different in 1929? It had tons of smart immigrants from all over the world, and yet the economy suffered a total collapse.

In the past I’ve mentioned that I have an RSS feed for the comments to my site. For me personally it’s more useful than email notification of comments.

It turns out that Adam Rice has a comments feed template that works with Movable Type. (You may need to view source to see it.) There are probably other such templates, for Movable Type and other systems.

What I’m saying is—if you’re already using a newsreader, and you have a weblog, and you don’t have a comments feed, try it out, you may be surprised by how much you like it.

Update: Adam Rice wrote in the comments to say that credit should be given where due. Absolutely right. Adam’s template is based on one created by Mark Pilgrim.
