what kind of comments would you like to leave? can you give us a few examples? how would that improve the collab capabilities?

Thanks for your response! So if I'm collaborating with a group I might have a comment like, "Do you think this node belongs under X instead of Y?" where I want to see what people think before making the change. Or maybe I want to add a node or a link and explain the changes. In both cases if there was a chat box, I could type my comments real time, and if I were able to leave a comment attached to the map, then it could be saved with the other session changes and someone else could join the session later and see and reply to my comments even if I wasn't online. It would help with asynchronous collaboration.
I came across this while trying MindMup out with a friend, where we wanted to communicate, but not in a way that it would make sense to be adding anything to the map. As a work-around we opened a google chat box and used that for real-time communication. And for the asynchronous piece, we typed our comments in nodes, which was fine for our purposes, but I think with really involved maps and many collaborators it would be nice to have the comment feature so people can easily find, reply to, and refer to the comments without messing up the map. I hope this helps!
