Vincent Akkermans' GSoC-project is about action replay, it will involve changes to the undo system:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Ack-err/GSoC_2013/Proposal That sounds like an occasion to also improve the text editor, since it shares the global undo and scripts get easily reverted to old states if a user tries to undo changes in the 3d view. Text editor should - have its own undo system - not log every keystroke, but meaningful undo steps - support undo/redo properly (it gets confused a lot currently and might remove or overwrite lines you never touched) - handle internal / external files differently? Not sure if Vincent will have a chance / is willing to tackle these, but if so, the way to pack/unpack/whatever texts might also need re-thinking.
