Scripting Games: What Should We Do With Comments?
Right now, I’ve got the Scripting Games Web site built to only make comments visible to a entry’s author. Some of the comments have been a little snarky, and I don’t want to create an online argument forum.
I’m curious what folks think we should do as a next step.
I could, for example, make comments visible to everyone once voting has ended for an event (I don’t want to make comments visible while we’re still accepting comments, because it’ll run a big risk of creating a discussion, which isn’t the intent).
We do have a plan to dump all the entries into static files for long-term reference; I could insert entries’ comments at the end of each entry, in a PowerShell comment block.
Or, we could just leave comments visible to the entry’s author. That provides a learning experience for the author, although not for the public, and only until we purge the database for the next event.
Thoughts?

Information is now available at IronScripter.us for the at-Summit events, and participants are advised to refresh themselves on the Rules.
Participants attending Summit should begin choosing their faction and getting to know their teammates in the faction-specific channels of the DevOps-Summit Slack team (open only to attendees and alumni).
Participants hoping to participate remotely may wish to start choosing a faction and finding a way to get in touch with them. The Faction Discussion may be a good way to do that.
