I would like to announce that I have begun a complete rewrite of the validation function. The new one is hereby called "Review feature" and is implemented as an extension. Eventually, I will remove the SpecialValidation.php file and all related code from the phase3 module.
The sole technical purpose of this rewrite is to give Brion peace of mind :-)
This new extension uses the already existing "validate" table in the database. I though it a waste of time and energy to replace it.
This initial version (in CVS, "Review" directory, "extensions" module) currently lacks many features of the Validation function. But, I have managed to place the review data in the sidebar, making reviews faster and, IMHO, more intuitive.
The sidebar display lacks the ability to comment the review. Also, you cannot see your old review data for that page. Should I add a Special page similar to the Validation tab? Or would that just be confusing?
There will, of course, be statistic pages, as known from the Validation function.
