I think it would be very useful if I could highlight a sentence, paragraph or section of an article and get a reduced history view with only those edits that changed that part of the page. What sorts of indexes would be needed to facilitate such a search? Has anybody already implemented this as a separate tool
Before I dig a little more into wiki mysteries, I was absolutely sure that wiki articles were stored into small pieces (paragraphs?) so that a small edit into a long long page would take exactly the same disk space than a small edit into a short page. But I discovered soon, that things are different. :-)
Obviously, I'm far from having the skill and competence to compare different solutions and different performances; nevertheless, I guess that history architecture of Google docs is different from the wiki's one. Probabily the DropBox history engine is different too.
