I agree with you 100% here. We need to find a way to let our users share information with each other, and annotations are an excellent way to do that. I remember always looking at the PHP documentation, and I always loved the fact that there were user contributed comments at the bottom of a particular function's page. Having comments inline would be even more awesome and even allows us to gain some insight into how our APIs/applications are being used. [snip] > offending or inaccurate annotations.

Can there be some mode where we can view all annotations? [snip] > What I am unsure is if there is a need for grouping subscriptions, with > group editing support.

That would definitely be a cool feature, perhaps annotations can support tags and we could aggregate annotations based on a collection of tags?

[snip] Oops, guess I should have read further before replying. Thanks for all your work on this, I very much look forward to this finished product.
