Description
===========
FiXme is a collaborative annotation tool for LaTeX
documents. Annotating a
document refers here to inserting meta-notes, that is, notes
that do not
belong to the document itself, but rather to its development
or reviewing
process. Such notes may involve things of different
importance levels, ranging
from simple "fix the spelling" flags to critical "this
paragraph is a lie"
mentions. Annotations like this should be visible during the
development or
reviewing phase, but should normally disapear in the final
version of the
document.

FiXme is designed to ease and automate the process of
managing collaborative
annotations, by offering a set of predefined note levels and
layouts, the
possibility to register multiple note authors, to reference
annotations by
listing and indexing etc. FiXme is extensible, giving you
the possibility to
create new layouts or even complete "themes", and also comes
with support for
AUC-TeX.
