OK, maybe someone should look into Phil Greenspun's "Loquatious" that he
uses for posting comments on the photo.net site.
If you click on the "Photo of the Week" link on the first page of
http://www.photo.net/ you'll see an example that could work. The layout is
*much* better in my opinion: no distracting background, plenty of space
between components, and the ability to add comments. Also, I like the idea
that all comments are on a single page: much better and easier to deal with
than a threaded presentation. But I think we could loose the caption,
statistics, etc., the voting mechanism for aesthetics/originality, and the
bit about model releases.
From what I've read about Loquatious, it can be used on other sites too.
