Post History

I like the idea of *divrei torah* prompting "response" *divrei torah*.  If we make the original *d'var torah* a question and use answers for the responses, though, then where would responses to those responses go?  (I think we should assume that will happen.)

I propose that *divrei torah*, with whatever restrictions we place on them, be articles, meaning they can have comments but not answers, *and* that we link them together where applicable.  Related *divrei torah* will likely share tags so in that sense they're linked already, but they'll be mixed in with unrelated *divrei torah* and with questions on the same subject.  (I'm assuming we want the *divrei torah* to come up in tag searches.)  So tags are relevant but not the solution to this problem.

We haven't designed and built code for this yet, but maybe we could have a list of "related" links alongside any post and a way for community members (at some trust level?) to add bidirectional links between top-level posts.  Until we have that, we could add links to "response" or related *divrei torah* manually; the category probably won't have so much activity that bumps from such edits would be problematic.
