 * Hi, I wonder if it would be good to see who wrote a specific note …

 * 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 🙂
 * Best

 * 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 :-))
 * Best

 * 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
