I just wanted to piggyback on the question/answer from last month about the roadmap ( https://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/annotator-dev/2016-February/001593.html ).
I had chosen Annotator this past fall as the basis for a plugin to allow for annotation on the Omeka platform, in part because of the option for local storage and image annotation support. Initially, I was working with the 1.2.x versions, but eventually abandoned that, as the Annotator plugin which provided the image annotations (http://annotorious.github.io/) required a much older version of, well, a number of things, including jQuery and Annotator to function. It seemed to have fallen significantly out of step with Annotator, and would have required a substantial rewrite. As such, I turned my attention to the 2.0 version, which had image annotation on the roadmap. However, per your earlier message, it seems as though Annotator could be petering out. I'm mostly surprised because it had seemed that hypothes.is and the W3C Annotation standards had some ties to Annotator, adding some additional stability (for what already appeared a stable project). I'm familiar with the tenuous funding of projects like this, but I'm curious-is there anyone else funded to work on it, or do you anticipate being funded to work on it again? We could possibly provide some contributions to the project, but if there is no long term maintenance plan, then that might not be the best course for us to take. Thank you for any information and/or recommendations you can offer on this front. Take care, Ken
