Searching the ideal commenting product for Plone

We plan to add commenting infrastructure to a portal currently running on plone 3.3.x so I did some research and came up with a (probably uncomplete) list of candidates that will be described below in more detail.

  • iqpp.plone.commenting (aka EasyCommenting)
  • collective.disqus
  • quintagroup.plonecomments (aka qPloneComments)
  • collective.discussionplus
  • plone.app.discussion

Hope this will kick off a discussion with the product authors / people using them and will help others to decide which package (not) to use.

Summary

I did not look really deep into all of these packages (installed and tested plonecomments and plone.app.discussion) so please feel free to comment and put me into the right direction.

collective.disqus looks promising and has great advantages in the area of social web.
on the other side comments are not as well integrated into plone (eg search) and it’s hard or even impossible? to implement custom notifications or other additional features within your application.

quintagroup.plonecomments is a very mature product with lots of configuration options and notification features.
Editing of comments is possible (maybe there should be a way to turn this evil? feature off).
Comments are compatible with standard plone comments (right?) so they might be migrateable to the new commenting system for plone 4.x (plone.app.discussion).

collective.discussionplus peps up plone’s standard discussion items with workflow while keeping them migrateable to plone.app.discussion later. it’s more leight-weight than plonecomments with the downside of no notifications and less configuration options.

plone.app.discussion is currently in alpha state but offers basic configuration options and a moderation view for batch managing comments. Its much more leightweight than standard plone comment types (plonecomments and collective.dicsussionplus are using). I don’t know how many people are contrubuting currently and i hope timo is still motivated after his plip did not make it into plone 4.0.

I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to use plone.app.discussion in alpha1 state on production servers (comment of the authors welcome). But it seems by using collective.discussionplus or quintagroup.plonecomments (not sure about that) one can migrate all comments with the migration script of plone.app.discussion as soon as there is a more stable release or it even is shipped with plone 4.x

This is just a quick overview, more details for each package follow below. There is a project on coactivate about commenting in plone, too. Founded in 2007 it currently seems to be not very active or completely up to date (eg products like disqus missing) but there are reviews of some other commenting products and a collection of commenting related usecases.
