What I'd like would be when colors are shown, if
you hover over some
text it pops up a hover of the user who wrote it and when it was
written (the revision).

Yes. Incredibly useful. What I'd like would be when colors are
shown, if you
hover over some text it pops up a hover of the user who wrote it and
when it
was written (the revision). This would be a bit like the way Google
Translate pops up the source text. I'd position the popup far left
or far
right of the window though so it doesn't obscure the text and annoy
one so
much (or have positioning be an option).
- it potentially allows us to come up with an algorithmic "best
recent
revision" guess. This is very useful for offline exports.
Makes sense. Also good for anti-vandalism work.
The trust coloring is clearly the most controversial part of the
technology. However, it's also integral to it, and we think it could
be valuable. If we do integrate it, it would likely be initially as a
user preference. (And of course no view of the article would have it
toggled on by default.) There may also be additional community
consultation required.
A show/hide button on the screen, with "default status" in
preferences,
please. And maybe an interface issue to consider, having a narrow
top bar
that doesn't scroll, where status, flagged revision etc info can be
put that
will always be visible no matter where you are in the article.
