Would anybody be interested in a comments library?

Sounds great.

I can't think of any other field that would be needed in a comments table, other than the "item" to which the comment is associated. Faceboook have a follow / unfollow thread and (as I discovered this morning) this forum notifies when a reply has been made so that might be an option worth considering. This would probably be something the user checkboxes as part of their profile options ("Receive notifications of replies to your comments?") but there would have to be a trigger within the comment system to send it. I wonder how other sites do this?

One feature I have considered is "flag" to highlight inappropriate comments to admin, but perhaps flagging is a separate layer which you add to all user generated content.
