For various reasons, it never really started to catch on. I've used Annotea in a real product — it wasn't that great, and I wouldn't recommend building on that for specification annotation. That being said, at TPAC we talked about "rich specs" with any amount of extra functionality, and annotations were part of it. That's a software project though, we shouldn't do it by consensus. Whoever gets the cycles to get it rolling should jump on it, and we'll figure things out from there. -- Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/ - @robinberjon
