Hi *,
just wanted to give you a quick update of the progress for developing FlaggedRevs, as the extension is called so far:
You find the development now at:
http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/FlaggedRevs/
The very good news is that a couple of people have shown interest in the extension and volunteered time and code, e.g Aaron Schulz having submitted most of the code. This means that there will be hopefully a codebase in the end which is understood by more than one person, and is already actively maintained by members of the community!
One can already flagg revisions from different pages on the wiki, and there is code in place to select revisions to display. It is using the logging facility as well.
Internally there is still quite some work to do, e.g. hardcoded settings will need to be made configurable, page content including transcluded content is frozen at the moment, a mechanism that may be replaced by something more dynamic etc.
Cheers,
Joerg
