[annotator-dev] annotator and authentication

[Graham Hukill]

Let me get one thing out of the way, the annotator javascript library, and
python store backend, are amazing.  Just exactly what I've been looking
for.  I've got kind of a general question.

I've successfully implemented the JS plugin, using the annotator-store
python / flask backend to store the annotations.  For the annotator-store,
I did it just about as vanilla as possible, firing up "run.py" and letting
her go.  I'm wondering, given a username client-side, what is the easiest
way to pass this username to the annotator-store to associate with the
annotations?

I've poked around a bit, seen the g.user field, defined by MockUser
function, etc. etc.  I'm just wondering what a low barrier option for
passing a username to this would be, aka, where I can catch a request.form
variable and associate it.

Many thanks in advance - I realize it's a general question, just trying to
wrap my head around where to focus.
