Description: THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented October 5, 2018. Digress.it is a tool (plugin) that offers paragraph-level commenting in the margins of a text. Digress.it is based on the WordPress blogging architecture, but is geared toward in-depth discussions of longer documents: article, essay or even book-length. Digress.it allows you run blog-style comment threads digressions, if you will off of individual paragraphs. To do this efficiently, we've re-jiggered the conventional post-discussion hierarchy of blogs, moving the comment area from beneath the post to beside it (floating to the right) hearkening back to the age-old practice of scribbling in page margins. We see great possibilities for educators, literary groups, political or civic activists, legal scholars, and pretty much anyone who wants to do a communal close reading. Since its initial launch Digress.it has been used by universities, publishers and governments across the world and is cited on various academic and scientific journals as an exemplary online collaboration tool. Digress.it is first an foremost a public service. The source code is completely free software and open to be used and customized by anyone without restriction. The hosting service is also free and has no ads. The project is primarily funded by grants, donations and people interested in seeing the project stay alive.
