A comment system is a whole 'nother ball of wax. Who is qualified to comment? Who moderates the comments? What kind of moderation is used? Experience suggests that the comments section - even if thoroughly moderated to get rid of spam and trolls - will become a place where people insert opinions that are mostly either completely unrelated to the article, or result from not reading the article, or just downright wrong. A possibility would be non-anonymous comments based on some sort of reputation system like the various stackoverflow-related sites.
yes, I mean the latter, reputation-based, but potentially anonymized, so that only serious replies are allowed.
