"If your code will be seen by the world at large, one of your first tasks should be to write documentation. Document all functions as soon as you write them (before is also helpful). Provide samples on how to use code as soon as you finish a module (or earlier, if possible). Do not wait until your 5.0 release. Do not wait until your 1.0 release. Do not even wait until your 0.5 release. Do it as you write your code. The sooner, the better."

"It's a prototype for mashing up publicly-available RSS feeds and using them as a sort of CAPTCHA."

"Telling someone you have a right to free speech on their site is like walking into their house and demanding a ham sandwich." Right on!

"So I predict that some enterprising programmer will come along and write a plugin for WordPress or Typo that will duplicate coComment's functionality."

"The idea is very simple, every time you post a comment in any blog that has the plugin installed, myComments alerts via RSS all the other conversation members."
