I had an idea for an additional feature for FtP: a discussion tab, similar to wikis, but just on the front page of a collection. For the Klauber journals in particular, it seems as if that might be useful for discussion about where various transcribers left off, and questions about particular spellings or what something might mean. So I could denote: “Ended at 1923, page 6” or “On 1923, page 5, second paragraph: what species is being referenced?” or “Need articles written for species.” Alternately, if users enter such things under the Notes field in each page, perhaps there might be a way to index them together on a Discussion tab within the Collection or the Dashboard, so anyone could see at a glance what needs to be worked on or followed up upon?

Ben responds:
Notes are displayed on the collection home, albeit in a hacky,
inadequate manner -- see
http://beta.fromthepage.com/collection/show?collection_id=1

It would be straightforward and worthwhile to make that better,
however: organize by page; link to full discussion-board-style listing
of notes. Guessing 4ish hrs work --not too bad, I think.
