scrap that, I see these are all feature requests that people already captured on the talk
page :)

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?
Best
Dario
