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

[Jonathan Gray]

Dear Phillipe,

Many thanks for following this up! It was good to briefly meet you and 
sorry I've not been in touch since COMMUNIA!

The Co-ment system looks very interesting, and I've added a link to the 
'annotation' section of our Software Tools wiki page:

   http://www.okfn.org/wiki/SoftwareTools

Some details about the system we use for Open Shakespeare are here:

I'm sure others on the list who were involved in implementing this will 
be able to give more detail!

Regards,


Jonathan
