Alright, now I'm understanding the possibilities and limitations much better. Thanks for the discussion.

Niels really thinks that the comments should be visible in the same page, otherwise is a loss of functionality. Mmmm alright, but only to cede on something so you cede on something else.

For instance, any problem if the comments are posted in tmo and only in tmo? (no interface for posting in e.g. Brainstorm).

Tradeoffs we could take:

- The comments are not fully synced in real-time. No problem if there are some minutes of lag. If someone wants to post she wil go to the thread in tmo and there will find out that there are more comments in the very last minutes. Not a big deal.

- Until we have SSO, users need to have accounts in maemo.org and tmo. Well, not a big deal either. Pure newcomers or lurkers will have enough rating a solution up/down in maemo.org. If you feel like commenting probably you want a tmo account anyway.

Are there more tradeoffs? I can't come up with any.
