I couldn't think of a better name for this topic... I want to create an extension to TWiki (hopefully in the form of a plugin) where there is a separate form at the bottom of a topic that is just a TEXTAREA field. When you fill in the TEXTAREA and click the "QuickComment" button, it will append the users comments (and automatically append their signature) to the topic.

The problem that I see it twofold:

1. Write the plugin to prerender the form field (probably like %QUICKCOMMENT%). This is easy because of the plugin format that we now all need to use
2. Append the quick comment data to the end of the form and have it saved. From what I can tell, this requires creating a modification to the "save" bin script (probably not good) or adding a new script. This is because I want the save script to simply think it's just getting a submitted topic.

Anybody have any ideas? I already have the plugin done and it's rendering the form correctly, but I don't want to haul off and branch the codeline, and I would REALLY Like to make this available as a standard plugin (um, unless it's already been done...I coudn't really tell).
