HooverNotes
[HooverNotes] is a concept for a platform whose goal is to combine book-like annotations with collaborative processing. It shall be realized as a Firefox add-on integrated into the browser allowing to highlight, leave comments about and collect bits of important information related to a topic and several Web pages or a single Web page. These annotations shall take the form of text, hyperlinks, and multimedia content such as videos, images or maps. In this way, the actual Web content shall be augmented and enriched by the users – be it for learning or other purposes.
Annotations may be personal or shared with others, hence enabling knowledge exchange in a classroom setting.

How it works?
Now you have the Hoovernotes installed on your computer, so you would be able to annotate on any Web page.
- In the statusBar you will find an icon (pencil) with a number (at the moment 7, while this feature it's not developed) of all the notes related with the focused URL.
- In the slideBar you will find the Hoovernotes sidebar where you would be able to begin the annotations, highlightings and movements of content from the tabs to the slideBar.
What is HooverNotes?
- If there are future features of Jetpack *not yet implemented* that your project is likely to take advantage of, please a) describe what they are, b) how you will use them and c) what, if any, work-around you used in it's absence.
