> The Ref Guide uses comments.apache.org to allow user comments. Sometime in December/early January, it was taken offline. 
> I filed INFRA-15947 to ask after it's long-term status, and recently got an answer that it an ETA is mid-March for a permanent INFRA-hosted system. However, it's of course possible changes in priorities or other factors will delay that timeline.
> Every Ref Guide page currently invites users to leave comments, but since the whole Comments area is pulled in via JavaScript from a non-existent server, there's no space to do so (see attached screenshot). While we wait for the permanent server to be online, we have a couple of options:
> # Leave it the way it is and hopefully by mid-March it will be back
> # Change the text to tell users it's not working temporarily on all published versions
> # Remove it from all the published versions and put it back when it's back
> I'm not a great fan of #2 or #3, because it'd be a bit of work for me to backport changes to 4 branches and republish every guide just to fix it again in a month or so. I'm fine with option #1 since I've known about it for about a month at least and as far as I can tell no one else has noticed. But if people feel strongly about it now that they know about it, we can figure something out.
> If for some reason it takes longer than mid-March to get it back, or INFRA chooses to stop supporting it entirely, this issue can morph into what we should do for an alternative permanent solution.
