Tech Notes - How can I make comments?

System

I'm curious about if there is a mechanism that allows people to make comments on Interwoven's Tech Notes that can be added to the Tech Notes themselves. Just browsing through a few of these Tech Notes, I found a couple that either have blatant errors or make no sense. For instance:

Tech Note 001592 is in reference to adding code to a trigger script so that it only runs from specific branches. It suggests you add this perl code to the script:
unless ($ENV{IW_BRANCH} is a member of @branches) { exit 0; }
The syntax "is a member of" is not valid perl.

Tech Note 048825 is a response to how to use the XML:arser module to parse through the results of iwgetwfobj. However nowhere does the answer use the XML:arser module.

I'm just thinking it would be nice to allow developers a way to add comments to the Tech Notes. By the time someone opens a support case to have someone at Interwoven fix them, several people may have already tried to do something that might be incorrect.

Dave,

At present - the process for external commentary on the
TechNotes and Docs is to do just as you've done - post to the
Forums here. You could also use the Contact link and send
email to us.

A future goal of this site is to allow for external contributions
- both new content and improvements to existing content. It
will need to feed in to our internal TeamSite based workflow
(approval) process, etc.

We have other features in the pipeline ahead this (such as
full-text searching of the forums and some topical browsing
of content). I will mull over if we can have an interim solution
for commentary - maybe something as simple as a per
document log on the server that each TechNote can link to
for reading and appending to; it's not hard to implement and
would avoid a bit of the paper chase until the external
authoring process is in place.

Regards,

Brett
