when looking at the WMF all staff photograph	User:Pginer-WMF	see a text list of all annotations	search and find the people I am looking for

Generic aspects/features of solution

• Annotations should be discoverable:
  • On Wikipedia articles
  • On Commons
• Viewing annotations should provide rich information
• Editing annotations should be:
  • Simple and easy for new users, with enough guidance
  • Advanced for experienced users
• Editors should be able to watchlist, patrol and get information from RC like they're used to

Stages in the UX

1. Find out about annotations
2. Be encouraged to add them
3. Connecting information to an area/point, and create
4. Adjust existing and your own annotations
5. Keep updated on annotations on that page (should happen automatically?) and react to otherss annotations (improve/remove)
