Sounds interesting. I don't know whether you saw the 'Thinking about 
Annotation' post[1] but it would be useful to know exactly what 
functionality you were looking for (for example do you want something 
more than straight 'blog comments).

That would be great Tom. We're definitely looking to build on existing 
work and have already started on adapting marginilia to work with open 
shakespeare. I also know there are several other people on the 
okfn-discuss list who are working on similar stuff, for example in 
relation to drupal (and for that reason I'm cc'ing okfn-discuss on this 
mail).
