[annotator-dev] Looking at Fluidinfo as a possible backend for Annotate

[Rufus Pollock]

Hi Kartik,

Would definitely be interested to see a fluid-info backend if you were
interested in coding this up -- we're always interested in seeing new
backends in addition to the standard one the project provides as a
default in the form of http://annotateit.org/ (which runs of the the
Annotator Store https://github.com/okfn/annotator-store)
