Forum:Commons ImageAnnotator

Lupo did a nice Javascript suite for annotating images over at commons. It does the "Add a note" thing on all the File namespace pages. (For more info, see this help page at commons)

I made a half hearted attempt at installing this puppy and I stumbled along blindly copying stuff per Lupo's instructions. It didn't work but I could have mucked up some step. Before I invest any more time in it, I'd like to know whether it is known that this is a hopeless task.

Has anyone gotten at least the annotation display working?

Being oblivious about wikia plans for image annotation like what Flickr and Facebook folks have, I got curious about what is being done elsewhere with this. Is wikia going to have some standard other thing that does image annotation? 19:52, September 5, 2009 (UTC)

That is a very cool feature. The closest I have seen at wikia is the Help:ImageMap and that uses only the title attribute to generate a tooltip style popup at an image hot-spot. The other significant shortcoming is that image hotspots are not highlighted when your mouse hovers over the image. --najevi 22:45, September 5, 2009 (UTC)
