Erwin,
I'm happy to continue working with you on this if you have more ideas.
Please don't just give up because the process isn't perfect. It's our
responsibility together as a community to continue improving it. I'm sorry
if you haven't had a great experience so far with this. I am personally
very pleased that someone (like you) is being persistent enough to get this
matter some attention. MediaWiki's diff view has been a blight for ages,
and I think we are getting really close to something solid.
It's just a bit frustrating. Development cycles are long, communication
is slow and decentralized.
I took your input, as well as that of others, and have
submitted r113071
which I feel is the best version yet. See
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11374#c45 for screenshots of
how this looks in a variety of scenarios.
That looks very nice. No more diffchange borders then. I hope it still
meets the accesability rules. Only thing I would change is make the gray
background slightly lighter.
Is this planned to be rolled out, or are we waiting for 1.20? (In which
case I can update the new diff gadget once the design is done.)
