Hi devs,
as a result of the need to allow annotated text to be edited wrt to an
annotation (for example, replace the annotated text with the annotation
comment), the need of identifying the annotation target more precise emerged, so
solution 3 was elaborated, based on the idea that an annotation could be
directed towards the field of an object in a document, with a method to identify
it in the rendered HTML.
The details are here
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/AnnotationFeature#HSolution3adda…
please bear with their length and lack of precision, is only an idea, haven't
prototyped yet.
WDYT?
Thanks,
Anca

Hi devs,
while trying to prototype this solution, I came up with a refinement which
changes the strategy a bit, basing it on XHTML content mainly, and considering
'content' as the main unit (and not 'document') and 'annotations
set' (instead
of 'document's annotations'). It is described at
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/AnnotationFeature#HSolution2stor…
.
WDYT?
Roadmap stays the same, even with this new approach.
Happy hacking,

Hi devs,
following a discussion with Fabio about the second desired feature for the
annotations, namely the ability to add annotations on any document, no matter
how its content is generated, we came up with the solution described at
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/AnnotationFeature#HSolution1stor…
, the main idea being that annotations would be defined by their selected text
and a context (as opposed to offsets) and would be identified to be rendered in
a document on a serialization of the transformed XDOM of the document, this way
taking into account any macro rendering, document inclusion, etc.
WDYT about this solution?
Also, because the implementation of this, though relatively localized, comes
together with refactor and cleanup of the annotations module (update everything
so that annotations don't store and use offsets anymore, remove classes&
functions which are not needed in this simplified process), I propose to include
this improvement in version 1.0 of the annotations module (so that we don't
cleanup and release what we know for sure we'll delete) and push the 1.0 version
further to mid to end December.
here's my +1 for this,
WDYT?
Happy coding,
Anca
