I would like to propose a Drupal module which basically acts as a wrapper for http://www.protonotes.com/
The module would:
- Provide a form within Drupal admin where people would add the required Protonotes options (which by default is just the YOUR GROUP NUMBER from Protonotes, but would also have radio buttons so users could easily select between the different Protonotes options)
- Ensure that the required JavaScript is automatically placed in the correct place in the HEAD tag within the Drupal pages (how?!?)
Of course there will be those who would prefer to include Protonotes-style functionality directly within Drupal, such as within the Sticky Notes module (e.g. http://drupal.org/node/883390).
My proposal however does not attempt to pull the Protonotes functionality into Drupal, but rather to provide a Drupal wrapper around it (rather like the Chart & Graphing module puts a Drupal wrapper around the external tools amCharts, Google Charts etc.).
What do you think?

Probably not too hard...
I am not familiar with Protonotes, but if all you need is basic admin settings and including a Javascript script file in the document, the Cufon module might be a good template to work from as it is a smaller module that uses the same mechanisms to add Cufon font support in Drupal without the user having to write any Javascript.
