Does this exist yet?

Seemed like it could be a simple yet useful block - something for clients to add notes to the site as the designer / developer is working on it. So you'd send them a login and ask them to check the progress, then there's a place they can click to add a note to the page. Some drag and drop jQuery for the icons, and save back the note text and position back through the note block.
As the developer, you could then look at a page in the dashboard that told you what the client had said about the version of the site that you posted for review. If you took it a step further, you could even have a spot to comment back to the client, and mark the problem fixed.
Dunno, seems like it could be useful, especially for sites that are very graphics heavy or have a complicated user interface.

I could see how this could be useful. I can also see it being a bit useful to allow something like this too be public facing too, so you don't have to be a registered user to see the draggable notes. I imagine that the notes would have to be placed with javascript, to ensure that they were absolutely positioned relative to the body, and that they weren't inside of a div with overflow:hidden.
I was thinking they'd be added to the page after it loads with json, possibly shown or hidden by a toggle button somewhere.
i like this. 'specailly if it ajax saved in realtime so you wouldn't even have to hit submit...
maybe some ruby on rails type sortability.. yeah..

We had something like this when we used to use a custom CMS. Each page had a notes popup that you didn't need access to the page to edit, or have to check it out, etc. (The idea is that someone might even post: hey, i need access to this page to edit it!) It might not be the best fit for a block, maybe just core functionality.
There was a checkbox on the note that basically flags the page as 'requires action' and then the list of pages that needs stuff done to them shows on on the dashboard, creating a simple little todo list. there was a summary field for the action i believe too. when not checked the pages still hold notes which might be useful for whoever is updating that page incase it has some tricky issues.
