When someone enters an annotation and wants to reply to someone else's annotation, we'd like them to be able to ask a question and ensure that the other user comes back to see the question.
Let's say user1 said something, user2 wants to ask for clarification; he could write "[user1] what does X
mean?"
This would increase the communication here. We could have a parser scanning each annotation for square brackets around an account name, and give that account a link to the idea with an annotation mentioning it. So [jutta]'s attention would be called to this idea.
Add a link in the "account:" section, "mentioned in", for people to see where they're being talked about/to.
This way each individual would be fed ideas related to ideas they had posted. Yet one more way to mine this database.

Annotation:

[reensure] -- I think that deletions should be retained. The process of deleting should actually be a process of retracting, not deleting -- once you've said something publicly, it's been said. |
|

I envision a sort of CVS for ideas -- when someone either edits or deletes their ideas or annotations, it'll save the previous version and the most recent version will be what is displayed for everyone to read. |
|
| |
However, there will also be a "history" link for each idea and annotation, so users who are interested in the history can see it, and see the thought processes behind the mind(s) that shaped the ideas. |
|
| |
The impetus behind my idea is to help move this database toward being self-aware -- with all of this data in the database, it becomes much easier to create original ideas, based on the patterns we see as individuals help shape each others' ideas. |

I hope [jutta] is listening. If so, please respond -- I'm interested in making a donation. |

Why make this so complex? A simple Search function would enable you to seach for your own name and find all the listings. |

Ah, but if I had called my account name here the same as my IRC nick, it would be 'Det'. Any search for this syllable would turn up all annotations/ideas with any number of words I'm not concerned with, eg. detail/s/ing/ed... And no, I'm not changing my account name :P |
