Actually I found out about this new NCBI commenting system from BioStar. And I wanted to give it a try.

Here's the discussion at Biostar: http://www.biostars.org/p/84222/.

It will be interesting to see if this is much different than forum-style discussions and other sites with comments. I like the idea of a place that's not unique to one publisher. But I expect it could be difficult to build community in the same way forums and blogs do, and manage the comments.
