This, I think, is very interesting. I wanted to create this website

it could be used in combination with mailing lists, because as we all
know a text-only emails aren't the ideal medium for collaboration
between designers.
On the other hand, mailing lists still have some benefits. I think the
most important one here is that messages can be stored online (in the
archives) and locally (by subscribers). I'd like the website to keep
these advantages, which is why I was thinking about a way to export
the comments to the mailing list.
This way:
1) most of the information will be saved even if external services,
like the image annotation website or the image itself, are not
available anymore. It's always good to be able to look back on earlier
discussions and decisions.
2) it will be easier to reply to individual notes without crowding the images
3) as Mo said it can be helpful to have it all in a text format
I'll try to figure out something that works well for us. :)
It'd be super-sweet actually to export-to-wiki. Then you can get version
control (not possible on a mailing list) and it'll be archived, and
mailing list posts can easily reference a wiki page.
