3. Another poster asked about our diff method: I
think the main
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.
4. 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!
