Re: [development] comments as nodes

Quoting David Strauss <david@fourkitchens.com>:

Unfortunately, treating comments as nodes in response to nodes makes the database optimizations particularly difficult for the tracker. It's not impossible to make it run fast, but treating comments as special kinds of nodes takes much elegance out of the design.

I didn't envision ``treating comments as special kinds of nodes''. Rather I envision treating comments as any other node w.r.t. the content API. Tracking content by content type should be a normal thing to do. One parent node to many child node relationships should be a normal thing to do. Earnie
