Thank you for getting annotate.el published on NonGNU ELPA! That's fantastic news!
For what it's worth, I'd be happy to sign over my copyright and publish annotate.el on ELPA. But there has been at least one other contributor whom we would have to ask as well. In the end, I don't think the choice of repository makes any tangible difference to most users, so it is probably not worth the effort.
Hi Bastian!

My pleasure! I am happy too! :)

I agree that now that you can install annotate using the same method as the ELPA packages there is no pressure to do so!
I hope tomorrow i could apply the patch and starting the discussion about using margin as space for annotation text (an intriguing idea i would like to explore!).
Bye! C.
Hi @bastibe !
Annotate.el has been included in NonGNU ELPA!
https://elpa.nongnu.org/

And, also important, along the process a few interesting ideas, and a patch arose! :+1:
I will add, in the next days, the features proposed as issue report here so that we can discuss them. Also will apply the patch to my fork so that we can have a pull request that could be easily studied and modified/applied.
Bye! C.
