Re: [Wikitech-l] Prototyping Wiki Inline Comments
Hi Daniel, I hope to clarify the question you asked. Let's say userA highlighted the text sunflower stalk and wrote an inline starting comment. Now userB decides to give an inline reply to the inline comment. Are you asking about how the system would handle a case in which userA shifts the highlighting from sunflower stalk to green leaves at the same time when userB is adding the inline reply? (and you have userB who thinks his inline reply would be appearing next to the sunflower stalk text.)

Re: [Wikitech-l] Prototyping Wiki Inline Comments
Hi Anthony, sorry for not having expressed myself clearly enough. What I had in mind was mainly that the text of the page might change after the initial highlighting of parts of that text, but yes, sometimes an inline comment might actually fit better at a different place within the text, so moving the comment's location around would also be interesting.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Prototyping Wiki Inline Comments
Hi Anthony, Your proposal seems quite suitable to annotate texts in Wikisource, since the text is constant and you will not have problems using the highlighted text as anchor. Another participant has suggested storing the annotation as JSON in a new namespace Annotation:, I think there is a plugin for the OKFN annotator that can handle this, but I don't know how well Mediawiki could handle it, maybe a support extension is needed.
