We have many comments on our blog that are unrelated to the respective blog post but still bring up reasonable topics. To make it easier for our users to be heard, why not have an "anything goes" blog post once a month? A user suggested this idea over here: https://blog.torproject.org/comment/288185#comment-288185
The idea is for users to comment on any topic as long as it's not in violation of our blog comment policy (minus the "on topic" requirement): https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/community/blog-comment-policy Hopefully, this will give our users an opportunity to talk about problems they have, ask us questions, and request features.
How does that sound? I can draft the blog post and help moderate comments but would appreciate a few people helping with that. I propose June 26th -- the last Friday this month. I suggest giving it a shot as a one-off experiment and repeat if it goes well.
I agree with Antonela that Drupal blog comments are not an ideal medium (putting it nicely) for an interaction like this with other people. However, we don't have a better platform right now, and this is important, so I agree trying this as a one-off experiment is worth the (potential) pain. I can help you with this.
