Hi Michael,

I'm forwarding this on to the bunch of people who are working on
Annotator right now, as I haven't touched the code in several months
and might be quite out of date!

Best wishes,
Nick

> Hi Nick. First, I'd like to thank you for all the work you've done for AnnotateIt.org. It goes without saying that I would be 100% lost without your fork and the Wiki. I really appreciate it.
>
> I'm thankful for what you've done because I hardly know any programming, but I'm trying to implement something similar to Open Shakespeare for a project idea I'm working on. You can find the work in progress here: http://www.michael-carper.com/theaeneid.html. I've been able to get to that point through the Annotator fork plus looking at the Open Shakepeare and Demo page source code.

> My problem is, every annotation is logged as my AnnotateIt.org account Id, no matter where I do the annotation. Moreover, it doesn't show who that account Id is.
>
> My question is, how do I adjust the Auth, Permissions and Store plugin settings in jQuery so that:
> 1. The annotations display the IP address (or Annotateit.org username) of whomever did the editing.
> 2. The reading, editing, and deleting permission are open to adjustment by everyone.
> 3. The annotations are stored on my AnnotateIt account and are displayed publicly.

> Is that beyond the reach of AnnotateIt, or is my lack of programming knowledge simply the problem?
