Hi Dario,
The features I'm currently working on are :
- Adding Pause/Forward/Rewind buttons
- Draggable timeline , you can select from where to start playing &
where to end.
- Skipping minor edits etc
The tool currently scrolls the added / deleted / modified content into view
, so even when the article gets long it will be possible to see the changes
without having to scroll and find out whats happening , did it not scroll
when you tried it out ?
I'm planning on making it a js gadget. I'm hoping the tool would be really
useful on mobiles as they are more interactive than desktops.
Thanks
Jeph

Hi Jeph,
this is really cool and a great way of showcasing how Wikipedia articles
are made.
I can think of many possible ways of expanding this tool – for example, a
time range selector with a plot of the frequency of edits over time, for
example: I expect people will be interested in replaying parts of an
article history when edit wars happen or watch collaboration around
trending topics/breaking news, I'm not sure the first N revisions are
always the most interesting ones. However these are the first priorities to
me:
1) having basic metadata (time/contributor) about a specific revision in
the header sounds really important – I don't have any sense of the temporal
scale of these edits when I replay them. A tally of unique contributors
displayed at each frame would also be helpful.
2) how do you expect to handle very large articles (where you cannot fit
the entire body of the article in a browser window)? Having to scroll to
see what's happening below or above the fold seems to defy the purpose of a
high-level visualization of edit activity.
3) are you going to host this on Labs?
