Hi PeterT
Thank you for this. Does this mean that you are taking maintainership of the codebase?
You wrote that you forked the repo and released "the exact same as Teresa's versions"… could you please elaborate? Teresa's zip was a modified copy of the last officially released plugin, whereas the repo contains a few things that are not included in the zip (notably release build scripts, some additional unfinished reader support, annotation colors for PocketBook, etc…).
I'd really like to move this forward in a cohesive, collaborative and sustainable way, without duplicating/multiplying efforts. I made some suggestions to that effect in my previous post. I've also forked the code, this time into a separate non-personal repo which can be used and managed by more than one person:
https://github.com/calibre-annotatio...re-annotations . Happy to open it up to anyone interested.
Why I care:
In my view, the Annotations plugin is the only solution currently for safely and easily managing annotations, in an automated and integrated way, supporting multiple ereaders, not requiring copy & pasting and managing one's own database/archive separate from Calibre and the books the annotations come from. As mentioned, it provides an enormous amount of the value, to me personally, of reading ebooks. As such, I want it to stabilize and stick around. I do not want control of it, I just want it to continue to be useful and useable to anyone like me.
