Great to see this coming along! 

A few comments on the display of the notes (based on wiki proposal):

- Author name and datetime should be included in the sidebar note as shown in
the mockup. However, maybe it should be at the top of the note instead as it's
one of the first things you'll look for. Also, the metadata portion of the note
could be a darker shade to differentiate from the rest of the note.
- The connectors to the target text area are good. But please no animated or
flashing connectors; that would be very annoying.
- When mousing over the target area (in instances where the notes sidebar is
turn off), a tooltip should appear (as it currently does in OOo) with both the
note and the author/time metadata. 
- Also when mousing over a target area, with notes sidebar visible, maybe the
note itself could blink a couple of times. That way if there are a lot of notes
in a paragraph, and it's not so obvious which connector lines connect to which
notes, it would be easy to identify the note in question.

A general request regarding useability.

- Please include the possibility "reply" to notes, or at least to link one note
to another; that way if user B comments on something from user A, it's obvious
which note he's referring to. (In MS Word, if you're clicked inside a note, and
then click "add note", the new note that is created has an id # that references
the original note that the user was inside.) 
Here's how I suggest OOo implement this: If user is inside a note (in the
sidebar) and clicks on "add note", then a new note is created. Part of the
metadata of that new note would contain a "reply to ###" where ### is a
hyperlink to the original note (a bit how discussion forums often do this). That
way you don't need any sort of lines or structure connecting the two.
