This should be done using the existing XWiki comment mechanism, if 
possible. We tend to make applications as reusable as possible, so that 
we don't have to duplicate functionality between different features.

Yes, this is a must.

These will require a Java part as well, since currently there's no 
public API for this. An image processing plugin would be good for other 
purposes as well. You should start with this, so that it can be used by 
other parts of XWiki (the attachment section, the WYSIWYG editor).

This could also be done using (and enhancing) the existing tagging feature.

I agree with these features. I'm sure that there are many other things 
that could be done, but the important thing is to have an application 
that works well with few features at the beginning, and which is easy to 
extend afterwards, meaning that after the base is polished, you can add 
features one by one, with little effort.
