One of the ideas I had a few months ago was to expand the external editing concept and make it more useful. Erik's initial implementation was good enough, but it could be made much better. I envisioned multiple editors spanning various platforms, interacting with Wikipedia via a standardised editing API.
Where is Erik's implementation? Do you have any notes, plans, design etc anywhere?
The current external editing interface is Erik's implementation. A sample script which uses it can be found in Subversion; trunk/extensions/ee.
More of the conflict detection and handling need to be dealt with server-side; client applications implementing a standard editing API should be able to do so without too much duplication of logic.
