Annotation feedback #42

Open shepazu opened 9 years ago

shepazu commented 9 years ago

I'd like to see the Annotator mentioned as a form of feedback. We've done a lot of work integrating this into WebPlatform.org, and we have it running on the TR draft of the Web Annotation Data Model spec. http://www.w3.org/TR/annotation-model/

Actually, I was asked, coincidentally, this morning: would it be possible to use annotator with the original respec code? Ie, using the github.io URL people could directly annotate the source, which would be good.

I know that github gives the possibility to directly edit and add issues to the code, but Annotator could complement that nicely, providing a fine grained commenting possibility

I would like to see Annotator be more battle hardened/tested before considering any such addition. I've only seen it be used by the group that produced it - so it's not clear if it's useful to the wider community yet.

Marcos, this project has been used by dozens of projects for years prior to it's introduction into W3C, including edX (a major online education site). What are your criteria for "battle hardened"? How can we tell if it's useful to the wider community unless we expose it to them?

I'm not suggesting that WGs be forced to use it, just that it be made available to them.

What are your criteria for "battle hardened"?

Let's say, used by at least 3 independent WGs on at least 5 separate specs. And with clear evidence that it serves the needs of each community (i.e., people actually make annotations, and something demonstratively meaningful is done with those annotations, etc.).

How can we tell if it's useful to the wider community unless we expose it to them?

I agree - hence it's interesting to see how much it gets used in the spec where it is being used. I'm a fan of exposing things organically - and seeing organic uptake and demand (i.e., "we can't live/work without this feature!").
