[WikiEN-l] Download history tool?

[Steve Bennett]

Hi again,
  Ok I had my own attempt at adding "group edits". It works, but has
the obvious limitation that displaying the diff across a group of
collapsed diffs shows not quite what you're expecting. In other words:

Time t0  User A comment1
Time t1  User A
Time t2  User A comment2
Time t3  User B comment 3

It shows this as
Time t0 User A comment1//---//comment2
Time t3 User B

So if you attempt to compare between t0 and t3, you of course get all
the changes made in t1, t2 and t3, whereas you probably just wanted
t3. Not sure how to deal with that one.

Anyway, feel free to use this code if at all helpful.

Also...I'm sure by now we're on the wrong list. What's the right one? wikitech?
