Hi Sahil, I am the one who is working on the project that Nemo is suggesting, and yes,the ideas of your project is the one of the many things many things my project aims at. Once pundit is activated on a page it shows all the annotations made by the previous users so more importantly showing all the notes made by the users. For example see the demo by Pundit: http://release-bot.thepund.it/build/examples/authors_index.html Just login and see how the users annotate the text and how it is saved my project aims at more then it to centralize it to wikidata. You can see the test cases at: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Apsdehal/GSoC2014_Proposal This project aims at collabrating and sharing data with the world's largest data pool that is wikidata, so covering your idea as a subset of it. If you still have any doubts feel free to contact me.
