I have not explained this part well. It is important so I will try again. In my opinion the way groups are set up is crucial to the development of reputation for annotators on Hypothesis. Annotators’ reputations will be strongly related to the Groups they belong.
Trusted groups will need to have private annotator membership that is extended by invitation only but these groups need to be able to choose between public or private readership.
Other groups will have different requirements for annotators and readers in terms of the public, private, link mix.
