Welcome

Commentpress is an open source theme and plugin 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.

Version 3.1 is available here, compatible with the latest WordPress 2.8 standalone and multiuser versions. It may work with earlier versions but we strongly recommend that you upgrade to the latest version of Wordpress to stay as secure as possible. This software is provided as is and the developers do not take responsibility for any use of it.

Commentpress was originally developed by Eddie Tejeda at the Institute for the Future of the Book and continued by Christian Wach in conjunction with Giant Chair.
