Time to try this: CommentPress
CommentPress is an open source theme for the WordPress blogging engine that allows readers to comment paragraph by paragraph in the margins of a text. Annotate, gloss, workshop, debate: with CommentPress you can do all of these things on a finer-grained level, turning a document into a conversation. It can be applied to a fixed document (paper/essay/book etc.) or to a running blog. This site is presented in "document" mode.
CommentPress was developed by the Institute for the Future of the Book. This is Version 1.4.1. Over time, we (and hopefully the community) will make improvements and add new features and extensions, all of which will be documented here on this site.
