Annotating All Knowledge Coalition

Hey, folks–

Let's congratulate Dan Whaley and Hypothes.is for launching the new 
Annotating All Knowledge coalition [1], an initiative for promoting and 
enabling annotation in scholarly publishing!

There are over 40 members, and growing, including Web Annotation WG 
participants Wiley and IDPF (and W3C).

There's an excellent write-up in Nature News [2] (which is a pretty big 
deal, in my opinion!) that includes a mention of the WG, both online and 
in print, and a nice compilation video [3] that captures some worthy 
sentiments about openness in publishing, science, and standards.

Dan blogged about the creation of the coalition [4], and I also blogged 
from the W3C perspective about some technical and standards aspects [5].

This is a great opportunity for us to reach a wider audience, more visibly.

Thanks to the Hypothes.is folks for pulling this together!
