I'm very interested, please send me the code: esther [at] kaffeehaus  
[dot] ch

I think, if you install the discussion template, the default should  
be that the discussion page and commenting form appears, but it  
should be possible to turn it off manually. Caching is in the current  
implementation as a template no problem: the pages and discussion  
pages usually come from the cache. It's only, if I want eigher to  
enable or disable the discussion feature manually, I must perform  
some checks when the page is viewed.
