yes, we need a better way to handle edit conflicts; but in any case, your work should not be destroyed! Unless something went very wrong, you should be given two edit windows, one with the new version saved by someone else and one with your version, and a list of changes.

 This has not happened.  I was using a version of Netscape

that may not be up-to-date; I'm not sure what would happen on Mozilla or Internet Explorer.

Please let me know if you can reproduce this problem, and if so, under which conditions it appears.

2. Show a warning if someone has started to edit the text < x minutes

 Or maybe a warning if they start to edit _while_ you are

editing,

We can only show the warning when the edit page is loaded, i.e. to the person editing after another person has started doing so. We need a time limit because otherwise people could get the warning indefinitely if someone opens an edit window and doesn't save.
