[PROPOSAL] Apache Annotator
Hi all,
Annotator now has a full list of Mentors and a champion. We've got a good (and eager) list of committers from the existing AnnotatorJS.org community, the Web Annotation community, and the ASF.
Our full proposal is here:
https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/AnnotatorProposal
Please let me know your thoughts on this proposal, as we're eager to move forward. ^_^
Cheers!
Benjamin

Oh don't get me wrong, that's fantastic!
Having a diverse set of projects is great.

Good thought, Bertrand! I'll clear that up in a revision soon.
AnnotatorJS's code actually pre-dates (and is in part the reason for) the W3C's Annotation Working Group (which I'm a part of fwiw). Now that we've got a handful of specs out the door (much of it based on the influence of this code), the hope is to get all the interested parties together in a safe, collaborative space (aka the ASF ^_^), and get to work on Annotator's future.
I know this is a different sort of project for the ASF at this epoch: it's not big data, it's not from NASA, it doesn't spin up VMs, map/reduce anything, etc. However, the Apache Way is something this community could definitely benefit from and it's something they'd like to get started learning and doing soon. :)
If there's more I can do to make this more interesting to the ASF and other collaborators here, do tell. :)
Thanks!
Benjamin

Looks like a nice project with a diverse community and very experienced mentors!
As a nitpick, I had to read more than half of the proposal to find out what kind of annotations it's about ;-)
Maybe mentioning the W3C Web Annotation Data Model much earlier would help with that.
