I have a test implementation of trackback support (specification:
http://www.movabletype.org/docs/mttrackback.html ) within the general comments package. It accepts an HTTP post from another web site on a commentable acs_object. I have set it up so that it only allows the comment to be posted is "The Public" has general_comments_create privilege over the object.
So, is this something that should go into the general comments package? I will need to add a package parameter to general-comments to turn it on and off, and possibly a way to turn it on or off for other packages using general comments.
Does this seem like a good way to implement this feature, or should it be a seperate package?
I am also planning on adding support to send trackback pings. Originally I was going to build it into lars-blogger, but I think I will add that support as a seperate package, so maybe both incoming and outgoing support should be in one package.
