Hello guys !

I respond to Hector Jimenez email.

I have been using evince since ... 2005 ? I have been very satisfied but
now I start needing to add annotations to documents I review. I find the
annotations management is still pretty poor and I would like to be able to
do it with evince.

I believe evince in written in C, I can code Python and I learnt a little
bit of C++ so I would be very glad to help in the development of this
software I have used for years.
Here are the things I would like to see in evince :
- underline text by just using a button in the toolbar before or after
selection (as well with key shortcut)
- highlight text the same way described above
- bar (is that the right verb ?) text as described above
- add annotation for any underlined/highlighted/barred text. The annotation
would lie in a small preview window that could be expanded by clicking it
(to fully read) and dragged anywhere on the page, linked by a line to the
associated piece of text. Annotation preview window would pop up by default
in the margins of the document.
- And many more I don't think about right now.

I don't know nothing about pdf management, pdf interoperability and I have
never done collaborative development but if the devs want free workforce to
code when they are caring of their wifes and children, I will be very happy
to work !
Please guys if you are interested, throw me documentation and food for
thought.

Thanks a lot for evince.

Best
