Offline comments

[sdobbs]

We need another field where post-run comments could be added. It would be very useful if this could be be implemented before the next run.

lets do it then. How to call that?

But the main thing here is to make these comments:

1. Available from web site
2. Should it be integrated to Sergey DAQ system? I.e. who and how should enter the comments?

Okay, maybe we can call it "offline_comments"? I don't think that these comments need to be integrated to the DAQ system, they are explicitly post-DAQ and optional. The issue of who should be allowed to enter the comments is a good one, but there's no access controls on the rest of the DB so I think no restrictions are fine for now.

Ideally one would be able to view and edit these comments from the web site. Editing should involve some extra authentication work, and either one would have to access a copy of the website from inside the counting house or figure out a way to pass the values in from the outside. So, I think that to start with just modifying the comments via the python API is fine, but some more work would be needed to make this a non-expert activity.
