Thanks for your answer. I think that the Annotator is pure genius, the Internet has been missing it for ages. To me, it is a milestone, just like wiki's. I am using the master branch indeed, because to read the sources and compile I was requested by the Makefile to have a .git repository. I'm going for the 1.2.x branch now. BTW is it right that some plugins may show me the wrong way or could I assume that everything that is listed at http://annotatorjs.org/plugins/index.html should work with the latest "stable" release?
