One might look at the "competition" for inspiration. Looking at CPAN. There's no "comments" feature, but there is a "CPAN RT" bug-tracker which appears to be a way for users to submit comments/problems about packages in a way common to all packages in CPAN, but distinct from upstream's bug trackers/lists/etc. I'd assume that gets emailed to the listed maintainer of the package as well as being accessible to other users, although I don't really have any idea. e.g. http://search.cpan.org/~capttofu/DBD-mysql/lib/DBD/mysql.pm There might be something to be said for providing users a way to provide feedback that doesn't require making a accounts in a bazillion separate bugtrackers. *shrug* James
