difference between ours and yours is that ours is operating at a finer granularity (roughly at the sentence level, rather than the paragraph level). We'd be happy to talk in more detail, if you want!
I'd love to see MediaWiki use a smarter diff function, but I have no programing skills (well, TurboPascal, but that's long ago ...). Maybe one of our not-so-busy developers (are there any?) could talk with you about this.
- We have been finding some fascinating patterns about the different
ways in which people collaborate in Wikipedia. We are currently writing a paper about this and would be happy to share it with the community after we are done.
Great!
