Description
TracFullBlogPlugin 0.1 supports editing and deleting blog posts, but only deleting (not editing) comments (according to the author, see http://groups.google.com/group/trac-users/browse_frm/thread/c8948e0189940cf9?hl=en). I would like to see an "Edit comment" option adjacent to the "Delete comment" option which is displayed in the upper-right corner of the comment box. It could work very much like the "Edit post" button does.

Your proposed implementation is exactly what I had in mind. I think it would provide 80% of the benefit (of fully versioned comments) with (probably) 20% of the work.
As far as permissions go, besides the BLOG_ADMIN it would be nice if the original author of the comment would be able to edit it. I suppose the most flexible method might be to have two sets of permissions: BLOG_EDIT_OWN_COMMENT and BLOG_EDIT_ANY_COMMENT. Or maybe the existing BLOG_MODIFY_OWN and BLOG_MODIFY_ALL could be reused.
Thanks for your time in considering this.

The TicketChangePlugin does something very similar to what is requested in this ticket, but for ticket comments rather than for blog comments.

@osimons: Could you tell me what the current state of this feature is? I'm also interested in it.

Blog posts, unlike comments, are actually made to be versioned. Like wiki pages, a new full version is saved on each edit, showing up in timeline and so on (history list and diff between versions are on to-do for when I get the inspiration).
So, if an 'Edit Comment' feature was implemented, it would be an edit by an administrator (
BLOG_ADMIN) for whatever reason - reformat wiki text, moderate content and similar. Any edits would replace the old content, and it won't show anywhere like Timeline. Old content would disappear without a trace.Is that in line with expectations? What is the common use case that you want to support?
(Still not certain I'll do it, but at least I want the specification sorted out before deciding...)
