The idea is to get effective web commenting with minimal effort using a collection of perl scripts. We're looking for an incremental improvement on email for user feedback. For example, with SOCS, other users can see comments which were made, so that they don't say the same things. The author has the feedback in a more convenient location than email, and organized by exactly what section of their work is being referred to. Its much simpler to use than a Wiki (although not as sophisticated). Users and authors are linked in a collaborative dialogue instead of unidirectional communication.
