Ah, those Germans with their quality and standards.

Next thing you know they'll be aiming for a TUV logo on de.wikipedia. ;-)

Subject: [Foundation-l] Anon and flaggued versions....

BTW: Talking about anonymous...

I have two questions regarding the way the flag system operates.
I understood that the germans were testing it right now, and had chosen 
by default the situation where anonymous editors see only the flagged 
version (rather than the current version).

What happens when an anonymous edits an article ?
First, when he comes and visit, he sees that there is a mistake or that 
he might add content.
So, he clicks on the edit button.

My first question here is
* is there anything special planned from a social perspective, to 
explain to the anon editor that what he seems is not what he gets (the 
editing version might be different from the version he just visited) ?

Then, let's imagine that he improves substantially the content. Click on 
save (still as an anonymous editor).
Now, my second question is
* after he saved, which version does he see (as an anon), the current 
version (the one he just edited) or the flaggued version ?
