Hey Dave, E-Quill is lovely! It took me 5minutes to download, install and do the tutorial. The interface is great, very easy to grasp. > While E-Quill perhaps doesn't (yet) fit the bill as an annotation system in > the sense that is often discussed on this mailing list, I don't think that this list has established firmly what makes and annotation system, and it seems that E-Quill gets as close as any. No system is going to work if it's hard to use and I think that E-Quill is showing us the way to go in usability. > E-Quill was founded by three students from the Brown University Graphics > Lab; the team has a rich UI and hypertext background. It shows! In terms of collaborative work and sharing markup though where do you see it going, I can see that it is easy to show others what you have added but what happens when a group wants to add a bit from everyone ( I mean in the potential complexity of the way the page will look and how to identify who has said/done what). I realise that this is often the fate of shared paper documents but then we also have a rich set of extra indicators like pen types, handwriting styles and presence.
