Hi Bastian,

for me the biggest disadvantage of using things like Google-services,
like the uservoice (?) we had on the new typo3.org-website in the past
and also with Disqus is that users are being tracked without even
"noticing" or without using/wanting that functionality.

Would allow discussing things only by users logged-in on typo3.org be an
option? Could we load the disqus-thing when users opted in (or out) to
use it (through their preferences)?
This would on the other hand mean that also displaying of comments is
only available to logged-in users. Hmm, might be advantage to suggest to
people to please get a typo3.org-account :-)

If with reasonable effort we could create such functionality locally I'd
highly favor it.


Kind regards,
 Stefan
