             Summary: Allura - discussion thread improvements
                 Key: COMDEV-185
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMDEV-185
             Project: Community Development
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: GSoC/Mentoring ideas
            Reporter: Dave Brondsema


In Allura, threaded discussions are used everywhere.  They are the core part of forums, and are used on each ticket, wiki page, blog post, etc.  Several improvements can be made in this specific area.  This code is in python, with a mongodb backend.  Frontend JS & CSS would be necessary for some of these items: 

* better pagination through long discussions (ajax fetching, nicer display of each item, etc) https://forge-allura.apache.org/p/allura/tickets/5709/
* add toggle to show/hide "meta" comments (e.g. status or field changes) https://forge-allura.apache.org/p/allura/tickets/7883/
* when emails are converted into comments, parse the reply so only the new text is included.  https://forge-allura.apache.org/p/allura/tickets/1782/
* performance improvements https://forge-allura.apache.org/p/allura/tickets/4359/
* separate list of attachments from all the comments https://forge-allura.apache.org/p/allura/tickets/6096/
