I'm +1 too. I believe annotations are a cool and useful feature and that
they fit well the traditional wiki use-case of people collaborating on

More generally speaking, I agree with Vincent about the strategy of
core-trimming that will need to take place once XWiki becomes more
extensible.

How much more time would you need?
I'll close the vote for XWIKI-4775 asap, and commit it since it's due a
long
time now.
I shouldn't need more than 2 days, but how would we want the annotations
integrated in the platform?
Right now they're built as an extension, with some jars to deploy on the
server
and a .xar to install the default annotations
application.
I think we should:
* have platform/xwiki-annotations and release it when we release the
plaform
* have applications/annotations and include it in the default XE XAR
The rationale is that annotations is a powerful feature and I believe it's
good to have it by default for now (it would be too difficult to install it
separately for now).
When we have the extension manager implemented, we'll be able to trim down
the size of what the "core" platform and instead have the user be able to
install extensions when they start their wiki for the first time or when
they go to the admin page for this. But since we don't have this now I feel
it's better to have annotations packaged in the platform and in the default
XAR than not have it.
Here's my +1 to both (API in the platform and annotation XAR in default
XE).
Note: It would be great to have the ability to turn
on/off the annotations
feature for 2.3 final.
Thanks
