Annotator, that is the name of the extension which i am working on as a part of my
GSoC project. The project aims at making an inline commenting system
where a user after landing on a wiki article makes a comment on some
useful parts of the text. I would like to thank Matthew and Tyler (my
mentors) for helping me out with their expert knowledge and indepth
insight into the concept. Their hand of help is really something to
be grateful for.
Coming to the project now, the OKFN library is very useful and the people in that community have been very active in clearing things. It’s about one and a half months since i have started working on the extension and the basic features for the project have been completed. Currently, the extension is called only when the user is logged in. The annotations can be created by selecting some particular text on a wiki page. They are loaded on a page with the quotes being highlighted and the user can destroy and update it.

Well, this project is endless and a lot many features could be added, with each new feature being a feather in the already illustrious wiki space.It was a really good experience so far working around with lots of knowledgeable minds.
I feel very fortunate just being a part of this prestigious project and hope that every day that I spend working on it would be a learning experience in itself.
Looking forward to more insightful days ahead.
