As some of you may remember, in Máirín's design-pony post [1] one
of the
ideas was to have Flickr-style note-taking for designers to communicate
more efficiently. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, try it out
by rolling your mouse over this image [2].
The obvious benefit of this is that even though we're all over the
globe, we can still "point at the screen" and comment on different parts
of a design. I think this would be especially great for UI and web
design. :)
So I did a little research and it seems that Flickr's implementation is
based on a standard called Fotonotes [3]. Fotonotes also provides a
Javascript client and it's all open source. I even found a MediaWiki
extension [4], but you need to patch MediaWiki to get it to work so I'm
not sure if it's suitable for our own wiki. An example can be found here
[5] though.

I have no idea if this can be integrated into MediaWiki, but on a
project I am working on we used the jQuery Image Annotation plugin:
