No. Bricolage is entirely a back=end application. For users to comment
on articles, you'd have to do one of two things: Either implement
something for it on the front-end server (I'm sure there are plenty of
simple OSS solutions for this), or create some sort of gateway script
that takes a submitted comment and submits it to the Bricolage SOAP
server to be added to a document, and then triggering the republish of
that document.

For performance reasons, I recommend the former.

HTH,
