Ok. But you wrote: ... "and the edit summary they have typed if any"
So others could see the edit summary? (Shudder ;)
Maybe an optional message box would be helpful (editable). The message while editing might not be the same as the edit summary.
Two separate messages for one short edit might be a bit overkill. Dunno about everyone else, but my usual editing sequence goes something like this:
1. Make a change 2. Type an edit summary and set the watch/minor checkboxes 3. Preview 4. Save or go back to 1.
Chatting with each other while editing? Like an IRC channel with the title of the page?
Some kind of chat features would be kind of cool (but a totally separate project), bearing in mind that: - discussing anything "serious" by chat is bad for talk pages as it's not recorded - IRC already exists :)
However, it would certainly be useful as not everyone has access to an IRC client, and it would be more centralised if built into the main interface.
