How is it now, Holzie?

Check out coComments. There’s a FireFox extension and everything.
I’ve done what I needed to do to integrate it all into the BlahStuff for you kids, so have at it. (There’s even a sidebar box that should show comments I make elsewhere, too)
[Props to Andy]
I’ve actually be having a lot of fun thinking about this and getting ready to move into planning and design.
First and foremost, I’m going to use this as a learning exercise to teach myself some new technology, so don’t expect a very rapid turn around. I figure I’ll either build the site using Ruby on Rails or Django, so that’ll be cool. I think I have the option of using PostreSQL on the backend, so I might do that, as well. (Not that I expect this to be a big test of a database…)
As for features, I think we want the following for submissions: tagging, commenting, searching, ranking, and maybe a “favorites” pool (favorites could work as a binary ranking system… the more a submission is “favorited”, the more popular it is…). Ideally there would be an RSS/Atom feed for the latest submissions.
Users need profiles with optional links to blogs, Flickr accounts, MySpace pages, etc.. They could also have some semi-social functionality like “buddies”, and so forth.
Hopefully we can run out some t-shirts/stickers/whatev from the best submissions. There’s some vague potential for some actual goods, but that’s nowhere near reality at this point.
What else do we want/need?
Currently the “Knuckle Rockers” post has just shy of 40 50 comments (mostly from Chris, Sean, and myself).
That makes it twice a popular as the “How Autistic Are You?” post, which formerly held the lead here with 18 comments.
Best of all, some of the tattoo suggestions are really cool! And others are pure comedy gold.
Upgraded to WordPress 2.0 and all that jazz.
Stuff seems to work OK. It’ll take me a while to get everything up to snuff (depending on your definition of “snuff”).
