--- Comment #11 from Quim Gil <[email protected]> ---
A bit of context and braindumping:

http://openannotation.org/
http://www.openannotation.org/wiki/index.php/Web_Page_Clients_List

Maybe "annotations" is the label we are looking for? Wikipedia articles are not
scholarship texts, and inline comments won't be scholrship annotations. Then
again... aren't they structurally the same? Point to a specific portion of text
and connect a comment, a signature, a timestamp, maybe a link.

Another aspect is My Annotations, as part of My Contributions.

I guess annotations will need a unique deeplink? 

And do we get those annotations by default, or should users activate an
"Annotated view"? Maybe the latter, it looks like too much extra bytes and
clutter for the majority of people interested in the first paragraph and some
factoids.

Bonus:
Are all annotations willing the be seen publicly by default? We won't go for
private annotations, but maybe people want to have notes-to-self? Like ToDo
post-its for editors, or notes for students preparing their school work. Those
would be as public as our User pages: public for those knowing where to look
but out of default searches / views.
