I know almost nothing about this sort of thing, so please forgive the newbie question.

I want to put together an open-source online literature annotation system. I hear this sort of thing is easier to do with frameworks like Drupal or Django, but I don’t know very much about them. I found some Drupal plugins that handle text annotation. Is that the best way to go?

Oh by the way, if anyone is interested in contributing, please contact me, because I could use all the help I could get. I’ve been putting up ideas at http://hyperlit.tiddlyspace.com/

    Annotator by Open Knowledge Foundation might do what you want – used by OpenShakespeare…dual MIT/GPL, code is on Github, has a couchdb backend but you can develop your own storage since it is separate from the javascript annotation tool.

    I have an idea to use drupal as a document repository and integrate okfn annotator but very much an idea, not a project (yet) – my particular use case is commenting on legislation/draft legislation.

    For Drupal, these potentially might do what you want (in various states of development/functionality):

    EDIT: Commentpress for wordpress might get you up and running quickly with limited features.
