A labs project to experiment with better approaches to submitting and managing comments on large media sites.

Details of the project, analysis of the problem, and discussion of our ideas for solutions can be found on our blog at: http://wunderroot.com/tags/wundercomments

##1: Comments Letters##

A module to implement a 'Letters to the Editor' feature. This aims for a more formal way of writing to the publication to bring back a sense of responsible comment.

Nodes display a button to invite a reader to send a 'letter to the editor' about the subject, for publication. Clicking this opens a new email message in their mail client, prepopulated with the right email address (including a code for the node in question). The email, once completed is sent to a Gmail inbox. Gmail filters out the spam, and the remaining comments are ingested into the site and applied to the correct nodes. When the email address exists on a user account the comment is attrbiuted to that user account. When the email address is new to the system it creates a user account and sends the user a login and set password link.

More modules coming soon.
