the wiki version of it.
= Development =
* Had a short one week sprint
* Differences between revisions of items are being displayed now. It
is not exactly pretty, but it works.
* Many changes in the underlying code that will lead to a number of
features to be seen after next week’s sprint, preparing for our demo
at Wikimania in two weeks
* Started Sprint #8, another one week sprint -- and picked up a crazy
amount of items
* Sitelinks are now verified doing a call to the according Wikipedia.
Normalized article name is then displayed in the sitelinks UI.
* It is now possible to enter links to articles which do not appear on
the suggestions list. Verification is then done by the API.
