Hi,
I like the idea, but what are your thoughts on what happens when someone modifies the note?
I’m not sure how this would get implemented..
Let me know 🙂

Hm. The simple solution would be to once set the author and then keep it fixed.
Author = person who initially added the note.
The Deluxe-version would be to have a kind of history who last edited a note; that’s what WordPress does with post and pages, isn’t it?
Author = last person who modified the note.
For me, the simple solution would be sufficient 🙂

Hi Christian,
Thanks for your thoughts!
WordPress indeed does something like that, but its disabled in the plugin (performance reasons) and not really integratable in a good way.
My main concern of implementing this in the plugin is that it can cause confusion as per who wrote what in a note. E.g. Trello does this well, but there isn’t enough space to reproduce what Trello does here 😉
Another challenge would be who owns the note / can set it to private? That may then also cause unexpected behaviour.
I really like the idea (and have some thoughts on how it would look), but going from the above I don’t think it will be implemented anytime soon 😉
Feel free to share your thoughts on that!

Okay, if you want to implement it like that, it really sounds complicated …
My idea was to once set the author name for a whole note (but not a particular sentence or passage within it) and then keep it – unchangeable.
Didn’t think of turning a note into a chat protocol :-))

btw: Thanks for your Plugin; It’s a very useful contribution to WordPress.
I was just thinking,, for a future big update I’ve planned some more user management features (like who can read/write notes). It gets a popover layer with some more space, it may look good to see ‘originally created by X’ there.
What is your use-case that you have this need? Would the above solve that?
Thanks!
Jeroen
