Aaron Mueller proposed to review my  thesis,  which  I've  gladly
welcomed.  He uses xournal [0] for doing so.  I've  not  used  it
myself  and  prefer  to avoid graphical applications if possible.
Yet, the annotated PDF he has sent me looks appealing.  Especial-
ly for tablet users (krt!), this program is worth testing.

I'm a bit undecided about it.  Annotating PDFs with xournal seems
to  be similar to annotating paper with a pencil and text marker.
That's what I like.  On the other  hand,  receiving  comments  in
text  email  is  much  more natural to me.  Here one example from
Kate, who does a great job improving my writing:

     2.Paragraph:
     - ... exploiting the central concepts better. Man wuerde das eher so
     schreiben: ... and better exploiting the central concepts. Oder auch: ...
     and better exploitation of the central concepts.
     - On the historical side, ... eher deutsche Satzstellung (diese
     Verschachtelung), lieber sowas in der Art: ... changes through time are
     discussed, regarding the use cases and email features, as well as the
     reactions to them.
     - ... mainly based ON the Unix philosophy ...

For  the  reviewer,  the  textual  form  is  more  work,  despite
copy'n'paste.

Because I like to receive feedback, I accept whatever format they
like to use, as long as it is not all too inconvenient for me.
