Hello, Ex-Hypothesis contributors Benjamin Young and Randall Leeds have been working over the past few months to establish an Apache project to host core libraries and tools that are useful for building applications that use the Web Annotations specifications. This project is likely to include some of the core code that Hypothesis uses for anchoring annotations [1]. There is also some code which currently lives in the Hypothesis client repository that might in future benefit other projects if extracted and published as part of the Apache Annotator project.
While all of us are here in SF I've talked to them to get a better understanding of how the Apache Annotator project will work and how that relates to Hypothesis. I have written up an FAQ at https://gist.github.com/ robertknight/c619ab918fb17fbd1edb288400afddb6 Please have a read through and let me know if you have any questions or comments. -- Kind Regards, Rob [1] This code currently lives in Randall's personal GitHub repos.
