[emacs-wiki-discuss] Idea: split off the annotation code

[Sacha Chua]

planner-*.el source code falls into two categories:

- code and tweaks related to planning
- hyperlinking support for various Emacs modules

Let's split off the hyperlink annotation code so that non-planner
people can take advantage of hyperlinking from everywhere, too. =) If
we move the automatic annotation code into another package and then
make emacs-wiki, remember and planner suggest it, we can make
planner-el simpler while also making it easier for people using other
personal information managers to try out this funky hyperlinking thing
we know and love. Imagine using ffap, browse-url, or a minor mode that
knows about all our funky URLs. <grin>

Splitting off the annotation code alsos mean that the planner-el
codebase can focus on just the planning aspect. =)

I could probably sit down one afternoon and split the code, but it
might be a good opportunity for someone who'd like to make a pretty
nifty contribution to Emacs and open source software. Any volunteers?
=)
