The biggest design challenge is deciding what to do with threads that might have new notes added to them for months or even years - how does that play into a most-recent-posts on the homepage and at top of RSS feed blogging platform?

@simon they only exist in the context of what came before them now feels like a pretty good Design Principle

@simon Separate blog posts in the feeds, add a "thread" field fk to point to the first post, first post renders them all in chronological order, URL is /original/#new.

@simon Wikipedia Talk pages typically are marked up into threads; the atom feed simply carries timestamped diffs of edits. Overall not really pleasent but the page could be endless I guess (or old content archived into sub pages and edited back etc.)

@simon
1. when adding a note to a thread have a checkbox (default:off) to indicate if it is a note worth adding to the main rss feed
2. When a note from a thread is added to the rss feed it also includes a little automatically generated info about the context.
(I’ve done similar on a few wiki like systems)
