Version 3 of There is a huge need for a diffs module!

This Wikit is an excellent Wiki and it is certainly one of the very best.

Please see what I wrote here here: http:C2.com/cgi/wiki?InnovativeWikiFeatures . # 18. You guys have the best reverse links module of all the Wikis!. I also discuss your free links and your number for files system. (# 7 and # 8)

But there is a huge lack: a good diffs module. This is to inform the user of the changes between the last version and the new so that he/she does not have to read the whole page to see what has changed since the last version.

NEM - Have a look at wikidiff. It's hosted externally, but does a decent job.

RA Thanks NEM! But this module needs to be integrated here and we should be able to view diffs for each page. See C2.com to see how they do it (click on the date at the bottom of each page).

Andstuff.org has another way of doing it. The Diffs is simply the act of comparing a page version and the one before it. Look at the history module. In the history module you have 3 functions: a possibility to view different versions for each page; a comparison of different versions and a diffs (a comparing of the last and the new version). Usermod.com has the same system. So does OddMuse. This is what you need here. A good history module. TCL Can do a real good job for it.

Come on you guys you are so many gifted programmers! Go for it!. If you want I can give you the code for a diffs module written in Python so that you could get good inspiration! Robert Abitbol

Is saying it once not enough? How many pages are you going to fill with the same message? -jcw
