Can we improve the comment section?

Geeklog is an amazing CMS
however some features still need a much needed uplift
like the Comments section. I have noticed that the comments section in WP is much more easy and collects more data from new users...
at the end of each post there is a quick comment box, and users can just enter their website , email and the text and post the comment (captcha is also there)
can we have something like this on geeklog?
collecting the email and allowing them to link their website is the what i am looking for! quick comment feature is also good.
Also if a comment recived a reply, probably we can have it listed on the same page below the original comment like in other sites ....
please advise?

How come you didn't just update the original ideas instead of duplicating everything for SOC 2008?
As for Sunny:
But it's already like that. You just have to enable Nesting instead of Flat mode. The next thing you're going to say is that we can't expect most users to actually bother changing defaults. Well, if you install your own Geeklog site, you can choose to make Nesting the default mode.
As for collecting e-mail addresses, to me (as a user) it would be a major turn-off. There are endless sites out there, so why would you want to piss off your users? And URL fields are like a party cake for spammers. Just think about it. Is it worth the work involved?

There are no improvements to comments in the next release which is going through its final paces before getting announced. The projects in the GSOC won't get into Geeklog until (I guess) next winter at the earliest. so can we expect an improvement int he next geeklog update?

here is what i have done with the comments so that they can be emailed to story owner. Tried my had at PHP after a long time. But it works for me.
add following in libcomment.php
function CMT_sid_sendNotification ($title, $comment, $uid, $ipaddress, $type, $cid, $story_owner_uid)
{
global $_CONF, $_TABLES, $LANG03, $LANG08, $LANG09;
if($uid != $story_owner_uid) {
// we have to undo the addslashes() call from savecomment()
$title = stripslashes ($title);
$comment = stripslashes ($comment);
// strip HTML if posted in HTML mode
if (preg_match ('/<.*>/', $comment) != 0) {
$comment = strip_tags ($comment);
}
$author = COM_getDisplayName ($uid);
$story_author = COM_getDisplayName ($story_owner_uid);
$mailbody = "Dear $story_author,\n\n"
. "$author has just replied to a thread you have subscribed to titled - $title.\n\n";
if (($type != 'article') && ($type != 'poll')) {
$mailbody .= "$LANG09[5]: $type\n";
}
if ($_CONF['emailstorieslength'] > 0) {
if ($_CONF['emailstorieslength'] > 1) {
$comment = MBYTE_substr ($comment, 0, $_CONF['emailstorieslength'])
. '...';
}
$mailbody .= $comment . "\n\n";
}
$mailbody .= $LANG08[33] . ' ' . $_CONF['site_url']
. '/comment.php?mode=view&cid=' . $cid . "\n\n";
$mailbody .= "\n------------------------------\n";
$mailbody .= "\n$LANG08[34]\n";
$mailbody .= "\n------------------------------\n";
$mailsubject = $_CONF['site_name'] . ' ' . $LANG03[9];
$story_owner_email = DB_getItem($_TABLES['users'],'email', "uid = '$story_owner_uid'");
COM_mail ($story_owner_email, $mailsubject, $mailbody);
}
}
then add
CMT_sid_sendNotification ($title, $comment, $uid, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'],
$type, $cid,$story_owner_uid);
this will be immediately after
$type, $cid);
