Crowdsourced comment summarization. Helps people listen. Helps everyone find the useful points.

Reflect changes your comments section. It adds a space next to every comment where other readers can succinctly restate points they hear the commenter making. This design encourages people to explicitly listen, rather than just speaking. Commenters can come back and verify the accuracy of the restatement, and, if necessary, clarify their message. Other readers are then able to read the original comment, interpretations of that comment, and clarifications. Reflect thus creates a richer commenting environment by balancing speaking and listening.

Check out the screenshots. It makes more sense just looking at those 🙂

It can sometimes take some elbow grease to get Reflect to work on your blog. Here’s why:

Reflect works by wrapping html around certain HTML elements related to your comment section. Reflect assumes the default WordPress comment structure, but themes frequently overwrite this default structure for their own custom, arbitrary comment structure. For themes that do override the structure, the Reflect plugin allows you to specify the CSS selectors that Reflect needs to operate using the current theme. (directions, screenshots)
When you get Reflect to show up, it will often not look that great and custom CSS modifications may be necessary. For example, the default Reflect CSS assumes a light, preferably white, background. But most importantly, a Reflect enabled comment board requires more horizontal space than the default WordPress comment board. Your comment section should be at least 600 px wide, and you must be willing to allocate reflect at least 250 of those pixels. We recommend a width of 800 pixels for your comment section.

A somewhat verbose screencast that walks through the install process and some of the customization steps can be found at http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/travis/installing_reflect.mp4.

Demo: http://abstract.cs.washington.edu/~travis/seattlespeaks/. Feel free to play around with it!

Please contact the plugin author if you want to make it work for your site or if you encounter problems. He may be able to help!

Some notes:

This plugin is probably only useful for blogs receiving a decent amount of comments.
The plugin makes a comment board feel cramped if the theme does not allocate enough horizontal space to the comment section.
IE6 & 7 are NOT supported
This plugin is not yet internationalized.
