Hello, I am starting to work on some analytics to try and figure out commenting patterns on HIVE, and to get some objective measures of comments. I'd love to hear contributions from the curation team on what makes a great comment, and whether I can algorithmically "score" good comments.

I am also keen to see if there's a correlation between good content and good comments.

I have a rambling post published as a preliminary, experimental study, but my overall goal is try and drive better comment quality, not only in the use of good language (but also in terms of comment depth) - a comment is not very valuable if it doesn't generate discussion.

Anyway, if you could check out my rambling and contribute some ideas to help make my analytical developments better, it would be much appreciated!
