We have recently changed the ZDP-site, so you can add comments to
everything. Someone has to work on sending these comments directly
to the Maintainers/Authors.
 
The portals with their subjects and topics allow comments, links and
drafts to be added by anonymous. 

I don't know whether it is a good idea to allow anonymous to change the
texts on the ZDP site. 

As a first step, I think it would be great if we could achieve the
goal of getting authors and readers together inside the community
portals, where they share interest in a subject and topic. The readers
provide some links, comments and maybe even drafts, and the ZDP members
take them and integrate them in their documentation.
