Just wanted to thank everyone for this feedback!

Hi David, Google Drive (née Docs) will allow you to share your document with other users so that they can view and comment (and not edit), FWIW. There may be more elegant solutions that allow, say, nested/threaded comments.

Hi David, For the GPLv3 process, the Free Software Foundation developed a web application named stet for annotating and commenting on a text. Apparently the successor to that is considered co-ment [1] which has a gratis “lite” version [2]. That might solve your need. I’ve never tried it. best, Erik 1. http://www.co-ment.com/ 2. https://lite.co-ment.com/ Sent from my free software system http://fsf.org/.
