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 3.2 is available for download here, and is compatible with the latest WordPress 3.0.1 standalone and multisite versions. It will not work with earlier versions and 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. Versions up to 3.1 were developed by Christian Wach in conjunction with Giant Chair. Version 3.2 has been produced and updated independently.
Commentpress 3.2 now makes your document available to a wider readership through a focus on accessibility; it uses valid, semantic markup; it allows navigation around the page with the keyboard and all functionality works with or without Javascript being enabled. As far as we can tell, this makes it compatible with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.
