Another dream of mine is an annotator that could save "facts" in Wikidata statements.

At first I thought you meant that it would be good to implement this in Zotero https://www.zotero.org/ , Annotator https://github.com/okfn/annotator , or a similar tool, to help a user keep track of their own favorite Wikidata facts. Now I understand :) that you'd like, perhaps, a client-side browser plugin or script that takes some highlighted text, offers the user a GUI to fix up the statement and source, and then feeds it into Wikidata. Am I right?
Yes, you're right. I know, for example, that Pundit is a tool for semantic annotation, and it would probably be a good candidate to start with. http://www.thepund.it/ (the won best poster at LODLAM, and are based in Italy. I met some of the staff and have already hinted about this possible feature). The also collaborate with OKFN.

Andrea, now that I understand better what you want, could you add it as an idea to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects , especially if you would be willing to be paired with a technical expert to mentor a student in making this? Thanks!
I tried to draft a proposal here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects#Annotat...
Please feel free to rephrase and modify.
