Annotations

[Inge Wallin]

So, 2.6 is still not out and we are in the bugfixing stage before the release.

But it's not too early to start thinking about the next version. And for 2.7 
I'd like to make annotations, a.k.a notes, one of the big new features. In 
fact, I had hoped that we could have an early version already in 2.6 but for 
various reasons that didn't happen.

We already have code in 2.6 that loads and saves annotations but there is 
nothing in the UI for it. So I'd like to start a thread here about the design 
of the UI for annotations.

Thomas Pfeiffer (colomar) is our resident interaction designer, and I think 
that you have thought a little about annotations, right?  Do you have an 
opinion on this? At least we should write down a couple of usecases and see 
what we need to support. Maybe we can create support for anotations in several 
smaller steps.

At least if the task is as big as Boemann says: several months.

I can start a project page at community.kde.org if people are interested in 
this.
