I wrote today a “user story” about Imanote features inside Fle3’s Knowledge Building tool. The user story is available in the Savannah of the Fle3-project.

The Imanote development as an independent application for image annotation continues as well. The tasks are listed in the Savannah of the Imanote project.

New people to the development teams of both projects are welcome. Please contact us!

Another map annotation tool and research project:

Stamps

The work is partly done in a context of learning – even computer supported collaborative learning. There is a PC client and client for Symbian – I am not sure if the Symbian client already exist. The features are very similar to ImaNote, but it is not web-based, either FLOSS. I am also not sure if you can use whatever image as the “map” that will be annotatated, or have layers of images in there – like with ImaNote.

The links between the annotations makes the view more like a “discussion map”. Have a look of the ShoutSpace client interface scrteenshot. The link is created when a new annotation is a reply to some earlier one and then draged to some other location.

The ImaNote development services are now available at http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/imanote/. Savannah is a sourceforge-like service for Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS), which we’ve been happily using for several years in our other project, Fle3. Savannah service is hosted by the Free Software Foundation.

In Savannah you can submit bug reports and in general see how the development is progressing. We also accept patches if you have some code to contribute.
