Hi Jonathan, First, great work overall. I think we are on the right track to make something great out of this summer of code!
I think the next step is to start integrating with XWiki. We'll probably hit more real world problems doing this :) You can create a repo on your github account or we can create one in xwiki-contrib if you prefer. What you be great would be to have a pom.xml for it, you can take inspiration from the one I've made for Lyrebird for example. I can help you with that if you need. Couple of random remarks : * I think by default Annotation and Comments UIs should be merged, just like they are now on a standard XE. * we need to think how the "search suggest" (search results as you type) will integrate * you can also start to think about the "edit" mode (say with the WYSIWYG editor to begin with). I'll create new threads to address more specific topics.
