Hi Tom,
This is terrific. Do you know if something like Commentpress
exists for
Drupal?

documents

Could you clarify your request? At first I was assuming a
social
bookmarking service, but re-reading the quote, I'm wondering
if he
didn't mean something like Commentpress from the Institute
for the
Future of the Book. Commentpress allows paragraph-level
(not
sentence-level) comments on top a an otherwise normal
WordPress blog.

http://w
ww.futureofthebook.org/commentpress/

The Institute first used this software to allow user
comments on the
text of Mitchell Stephens' e-book, "The Holy of Holies:
On the
Constituents of Emptiness".

http://www.futureofthebook.org/mitchellstephens/hol
yofholies/

Here's the blurb about the software:

CommentPress is an open source theme for the WordPress
blogging engine
that allows readers to comment paragraph by paragraph in the
margins
of a text. Annotate, gloss, workshop, debate: with
CommentPress you
can do all of these things on a finer-grained level, turning
a
document into a conversation. It can be applied to a fixed
document
(paper/essay/book etc.) or to a running blog.

I was interested in this as well and remembered seeing
something that
I suspected might be a Drupal instance of a commenting
system. In
January, the Information Institute of Syracuse and the
American
Library Association's Office for Information Technology
Policy, under
the direction of David Lankes, created a website called
"Participatory
Networks : The Library as Conversation," one component
of which was a
participatory version of the site's central thesis.

http://iis.syr.ed
u/projects/PNOpen/

It was taken down in July (I think) and only recently
replaced with...
CommentPress.

I asked David about the original system and he said it was
something
he wrote himself in PHP. But apparently it was not a Drupal
module.
