Oh, I see. Yeah, that's pretty much how Facebook activity feeds work
too. Not sure how relevant this is for Melkjug then.

Why not just have commenting happen on the source post?
Or is the concern here that you want to expose that comments are
happening?

that would be a benefit. mostly though I want to comment on things
that don't have a built in commenting (non-blog feed posts). Maybe it
only makes sense for some posts (like delicious links) rather than all
posts.
that being said, the way one can comment on any entry in an
aggregation in FriendFeed is kinda cool, since every feed has it's own
context as a whole. IOW, what planet-opengeo watchers have to say
about something might be different than what someone would said on the
blog itself.
tangetially, I think a most discussed filter for melkjug would be cool
too, though it would create a different feed altogether right?

Finally, it would be nice to allow commenting on the final
aggregated
feed.

Funny, I've been thinking much the same thing lately (obviously
with a
different set of uses) -- and have been thinking of just
building some
sort of simple commenting functionality on top of Planet
(probably
with some sort of microapp) to serve this purpose. Commenting +
simple TTW administration would turn Planet into something I would
want to use all over the place, I think.
If anyone wants to pair...
...or decide to be a "client" (in the loosest sense possible)
for my
team and tell me you'd want to use it -- we could build it pretty
quickly I think (and I'd be happy for us to) but some people
seem to
prefer working on things that actually have an intended user in
mind.
:P

*chuckle*
but isn't this like melkjug's job

I don't think so -- the way I understand it is that Melkjug is about
accessibility; what we're talking about is more like community. I
think those are fairly different goals, though I'm not sure I can put
it into the right words. But Melkjug-as-shared-aggregator feels like
the wrong tool for the job to me.
Of course, YMMV (and more importantly Luke'sMMV)

collaborative filtering is the feature, but it seems like the product
is still aggregation. checkout friendfeed and see what you think.
ian's "commentary" might be one approach though if melkjug is not
interested. It uses js to weave commenting into an existing dom.
could be easy to fit to a deliverated jug or planet.
