The idea of integrating annocpan with cpanforum is a good one, although I don't know exactly how we could do it. The plan with annocpan is not to have discussions but just to post short notes, although someone suggested that I should add a threading feature for notes because inevitably people will post notes to reply to other people's notes. The notes, in any case, are about specific paragraphs of the POD, not about the module in general, but the page could be linked to a general discussion, or the general discussion could be shown at the bottom of the page, as in php.net.

In any case, the plan is to make the note database available for reuse in other sites; in particular, it would be great if it could be used by search.cpan.org .
