[FM Discuss] Log in? How?

[Janet Swisher]

He's talking about the "Discussion" page for the chapter
(http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/FLOSSManuals/FMComments?skin=floss2).
It offers a text field and an "Add comment" button, even though the
user is not logged in. If you type a comment and click the button, you
get the very unfriendly "AccessDenied" error. There's no indication on
the Discussion page that you have to login first. There's no way to
login without leaving the Read section and going to the Write section.

Since development is focused on Booki now, the quickest fix might be
to remove the "Discussion" link from the Read interface. That would
leave only the "Edit this page", which is what should be used for
fixing typos anyway.
