I want to get some feedback on a possible Summer of
Code project proposal.
For last year's GSoC I created an HTML diffing library for Daisy CMS. The
algorithm has proven to work well and I'm thinking of porting it to
mediawiki.
What the algorithm does is take the source of 2 pages and merge them to
visualize the diff. The code I have already does something like this:

Is this a feasible project for wikimedia? I'm personally not very impressed
with the current "diff pages". I think a visual diff would bring that part
of mediawiki up to par with the rest of the software.
Very nice!
Definitely keep in mind the performance & hidden-markup issues that have
been brought up in the thread, but a nice clean diff view would be
fantastic.
