Re: co-ment text annotation and commenting system

 I am forwarding in a separate mail your technical questions to the developers 
(Raphaël Badin and Renaud Bernard) but here are some immediate answers :

- yes, co-ment works with both Firefox and IE (though it was the usual 
nightmare to solve some issues in IE).

- we have limits on size of text uploads that are due to the OpenOffice 
converter that we are using, but a Shakespeare play is definitely OK. In 
practice cutting and pasting gives most of the time better results than 
uploading from a word processor. I have just uploaded "As you like it" by cut 
and paste and turned to public viewing and commenting to public. You can test 
it at :
