I got several comments suggesting new features and I want to address them. The first was posted by David and he wanted to know if there were any plans to incorporate treeview style comments. Well the answer is yes, but before that can be done I feel that there are other commenting issues that need to be addressed first before treeview style comments are even worth implementing. The two main issues at the moment is the lack of comment control. While there are separate options for Closed, Open and Protected comments, I feel that there should also be a Moderated option that would submit the commit to the admin for approval where it could either be approved and posted, or deleted. This would in turn greatly eliminate spam and other worthless posts. IP banning could also potentially be added at this time to ward off specific people or bots.
The other feature I feel is important is ability to identify who is actually making a comment. This could be a simple as a name box and a website box on the comment page that would be posted in place of "Guest" in the comment title. I think this would greatly add to idea of the treeview comments by allowing to people to actually know who they are communicating with. A user creation context could also be added in due time to allow members to post without printing their name every time.
I think all of these ideas could be implemented independently of each other so I will likely push out each separately and then build upon them with point releases. This will allow me to still continue working on TriptychBlog without contributing the large chuck of time (which I currently do not have at the moment) to release a full upgrade. I'll also try and post updates more regularly, I know it's been a while. And thanks for all the suggestions.
