Yeah I think this idea is best out of the lot.
Yeah it is a nice idea, only i dont think people are gonna spend time deleting comments. Usually when a somewhat popular package gets uploaded theres a lot of discussion about how to do this & that etc. Then when the script reaches a fairly satisfying point of decency discussion stops. & then you mostly see comments like "1.2 is out" or complete build scripts or patches posted etc. See for example http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24266 IMO its better that the first, and more important part of the discussion to be done on the mailing list, this way people who dont use the package can help. People can also get familiar with the package that way. Then email the maintainer directly. -- Greg
