I want to get some feedback on a possible Summer of Code project proposal. For last year's GSoC I created an HTML diffing library for Daisy CMS. The algorithm has proven to work well and I'm thinking of porting it to mediawiki.
What the algorithm does is take the source of 2 pages and merge them to visualize the diff. The code I have already does something like this: http://users.pandora.be/guyvdb/wikipediadiff.jpg
Is this a feasible project for wikimedia? I'm personally not very impressed with the current "diff pages". I think a visual diff would bring that part of mediawiki up to par with the rest of the software.
Very nice!
Definitely keep in mind the performance & hidden-markup issues that have been brought up in the thread, but a nice clean diff view would be fantastic.
