Added comment section to 2024 festival page

[julianpistorius]

Using: https://cactus.chat/

Currently allows 'guest' access. Can change to requiring an account if abuse becomes a problem.

Can preview the changes here (until my dev environment times out): https://urban-space-system-9vrv74rqg3p6r5-5782.app.github.dev/resbaz/resbazTucson2024.html#comments

Or you can click on the 'Review in codespace' button and preview the 2024 festival page.

(@alex-r-bigelow - It would be great if we could deploy to staging environments for PRs...)

it works for me (I made those two test comments). What would be the point of this, if it is on the full ResBaz2024 website? Would it allow for chatter? How do we make it not overwhelmingly long?

[val-pf]

I don't fully grasp the technical implementation, @alex-r-bigelow may have more weight here. Approve principle idea and simplicity of solution

[julianpistorius]

@val-pf I think it only shows the most recent 10 comments (pageSize): https://cactus.chat/docs/client/introduction/

You can also see the comments as a Gitter/Matrix room: https://matrix.to/#/%23comments_resbazaz_festival2024%3Acactus.chat

This could allow for chatter, but probably more useful for posting updates, and asking questions about the festival. I think we should still point people to the main Gitter/Matrix room for chatter.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that there is a moderation feature - also done through Matrix.

A thousand apologies for my late response; connectivity issues today

This looks great!

I imagine that guestPostingEnabled is a thing that's only cosmetic, and really needs to be set from the Cactus perspective to actually protect anything? i.e. anyone could change that setting in their browser if they wanted to, even if we turned it off...

Thanks for the help @alex-r-bigelow!
