Description
NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.
Especially for public facing portions of websites (e.g. blogs), it would be really nice if Confluence allowed anonymous users to optionally enter their name, email, and/or website when providing a comment (similar to WordPress and various other blogging products).
This would provide a structured means of identifying who is making the comment and a way to communicate back with the commenter without eating up a user license.
Another alternative, albeit more radical, would be to enable some sort of "commenter only registration" that would create a confluence user account that would only have the ability to comment on anonymously accessible pages, but which wouldn't consume a user license (although there should be an admin interface to selectively "promote" these users to fully licensed users if desired).
The bottom line is that if a website is going to expose a blog to the internet, they shouldn't be forced to purchase an unlimited user license just to allow blog commenters to identify themselves.
