I'm looking for a JavaScript component that would support discussions for my read-only HTML documents, a-la what modern Google Documents do.

User selects a random portion of web-page, presses a hotkey / button on the page, and a comment floating pane appears. Portions of web-page that have comments are highlighted in some way unless user disabled that somewhere.

Should support or me allow to easily implement:

  • Several users (I provide information on the current user).
  • Sane API for server-side, so I can implement it and not take whatever PHP stuff is bundled (even better if it would be abstracted away on JS code level).
  • "Resolved" function (actually, it would do if I'll be able to put any custom button)
  • Change / delete functions
  • Comment stream pane

You're after a web annotation toolkit then. The research world is full of these (which doesn't necessarily mean that they're intended for production use).

Perhaps this one would work? OKF Annotator (Blog post)

Looks like it powers this: http://annotateit.org/
