           Summary: Make OPAC reviews a comments system (like Flickr,
                    YouTube, etc)
           Product: Koha
           Version: HEAD
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: OPAC
        AssignedTo: jmf at liblime.com
        ReportedBy: oleonard at myacpl.org

Joshua and I had the idea to use the OPAC reviews system as a basis for a
comments system for bibliographic records. I think framing it as "comments"
makes it easy for the user to understand, as it places it in a context they're
familiar. Moving away from the term "review" lifts the burden of having to
write a thorough well-structured composition (which I think is a good thing).

Some pieces are missing if we want it to work this way:

- Currently you can only write one review, which would eliminate the
possibility of users having any kind of dialog.
- Users' full name is displayed, which some may not like. Should we offer users
the option of specifying a user name with which they can submit comments?
- A star rating system (like Amazon's) would be great.
