Libertexto, an extension for creating online annotations

Hi guys,

After a long long time thinking about this project, I am going to make a short presentation about it. This project is based on the speech which that psychologist gave during the course (do you remember him?). The main goal of this project is creating an extension which allows to the school students create annotations in web pages (like wikipedia or others) just like they usually do in traditional paper.
















In this demo screenshot, you can see more or less how it works:
(I am sorry, it is in Spanish)
The application should allow different functionalities like highlighting, inserting notes, tagging or creating relations between items so I am afraid I will have to work hard for making it real...


If you like this project, I must say that there is another version for this project which is oriented to create this annotations on pdf files through another Firefox plugin or another open source tool (for example, creating a desktop app for gnome using popler, I dont know...). If you want to know more, please ask me freely.

That's all, I hope I can write as soon as possible about some progress with this project!

Bye, bye
