Re: co-ment text annotation and commenting system

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
