Ideas on comment moderation: + Allow people with at least 2,000 points on stackoverflow to comment unmoderated. (or some other number of points) + Allow threading, and allow respondee to moderate respondor, with notification. + Allow people with 10,000 stack overflow points to moderate other people's comments. (they won't want to screw you lest they lose access to SO.) ... Wait, use the Stackoverflow system as a blogging engine, and allow people to post their blog with it, including yours. I know I'd like that better than my current blogging platform.

I was reminded of something that is still being hammered out: the move of the Python programming language development to mercurial vcs. One of the problems is that mercurial, being distributed, allows developers to check-in code on their local machine, using a variety of line ending. This seems to cause a lot of grief...
