Re: feature idea: annotating messages

Interesting idea...

How about integrating a wiki system into the Zoe package and changing the ui
to link to and/or embed those wiki-pages based on the zoe urls (like message
id, address name, search string, etc.). Another way to go would be to pull
zoe out into a portlet implementation for inclusion on portal or personal
appserver implementations. (Just thinking out loud!)

I have been impressed with SnipSnap (snipsnap.org) and their beta
integration into eclipse for collaboration and documentation management. I
don't know the licensing, but it would be interesting.
