d.o Doc Comments management view page
Request for page on d.o to list pages with recently-added comments. As /documentation/manage lists edits to pages, the proposed "Docs Comments management" page would list pages with comment changes (primarily additions, I assume).
As discussed with silverwing on #drupal-infrastructure, 2012-03-06.
Use cases: a list of nodes with recent comment activity would be of interest to site readers and doc maintainers. It would also be useful as a tool in spam monitoring.
My own purpose is to be able to scrape d.o/documentation/manage plus this new comments list in order to update my local data regarding pages+comments, without spidering all of d.o/documentation.
Suggested implementation:
-------------------------
Vanilla:
--------
List all comment records individually
Default order: reverse chronological
Fields:
-- Title/link of associated node
-- Book
-- Date/time
-- Comment title
-- Author
... possibly others
Filters: probably similar to /documentation/manage: ie: filter mostly on page attribs. Maybe also comment author?
Improved version?
------------------
Similar to above, but summarize comments by node X day:
Default order: reverse chronological
Fields:
-- Title/link of associated node
-- Book
-- DATE (or max(Comment Date/Time)
-- Comment COUNT
-- distinct Author COUNT
... possibly others
Filters: probably similar to /documentation/manage
