[okfn-discuss] co-ment text annotation and commenting system

Tue Feb 5 14:46:30 UTC 2008

About a year ago, there were a few posts on this list on text annotation 
systems. We have developed an entirely new system whose client commenting 
interface is inspired from the STET system used for the GPLv3 revision, but 
with a much extended overall functionality :
- the system provides a full symetrical service : anyone can upload or create  
texts and manage rights of access and commenting,
- Comments can be tagged and there are a number of basic workflows for 
processing them,
- text versioning is included,
- exports are in process.

The code base is licensed under the Affero GPLv3, with a trademark restriction 
clause (co-ment is a registered trademark that can not be used without 
authorization). Technology : AJAX + Django + PostgreSQL.

We operate the service at :
http://www.co-ment.net

The code is at :

Usage and feeback most welcome.
