Talking of diffs, what is your opinion about the current "(cur)
(last)" links in the history display?  Is it intuitive and productive?
It is different from the original UseModWiki (example 2, below), but
it is also different from the new UseModWiki (3, below).

For a different project (online proofreading, not wiki), I implemented
the new UseModWiki (3) based on RCS, e.g.
http://www.lysator.liu.se/runeberg/rc.pike?action=history&src=nfch/0412

Does the current Wikipedia model (example 1, below) have any obvious
advantages over the new UseModWiki (3)?



1) Current Wikipedia, e.g.
http://www.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Shadow_government&action=history

   (cur) (last)  date .. user
   (cur) (last)  date .. user

2) Original UseModWiki, e.g.
http://hu.wikipedia.com/wiki.cgi?action=history&id=HomePage

  Version 17  View  Diff .. date by user

where View shows that version, and Diff makes a diff towards the
current version.

3) New UseModWiki, e.g.
http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?action=history&id=SocialSoftware

  [_]  [_]  Version 17 .. date by user
  [_]  [_]  Version 16 .. date by user
   COMPARE

Where you mark the radio buttons for any two versions you want to
compare, and then click COMPARE.
