Re: [Wikitech-l] Improvements to the wikitext diff view

[Dennis During]

This will make so many monitoring tasks much easier and lead to their being
done better and more frequently.  It is hard to conceive of any drawback to
it.  Even there turn out to be some bugs, this is a great improvement.
Thanks.

So if only wikiworld were for profit, then it wouldn't be
resource-constrained?  Therein could lie the solution of all problems, not
