I don't have a particular opinion on this, except that inline comments that
are publicly visible must be able to be moderated by the community, and
that smaller communities in particular should be able to opt out of this
extension. They sound like a great idea, but we're much more likely to get
comments like "this isn't true" or "this [highly unreliable website]
disagrees", and that just creates problems for readers. We can assume good
faith until the cows come home, but we should also be realistic and realize
that those comments are going to make our articles look more like Twitter
and Facebook; that is, they'll be opportunities for disinformation.

Hi! I'm thinking on writing a gadget to add
inline comments to articles,
similar to how Google Docs comments work.
However, I'm sure I recently read somewhere about someone developing an
extension or something with the same goal, but now I can't find it
anywhere. Anyone knows?
Thanks!
