In fact, there _is_ such a feature (and a few more which may not be
immediately obvious).


The key is to enter the Maintenance GUI, which gives you access to
virtually all internal data structures (depending on your user role and
the set of permissions defined there).

There are two ways to enter that GUI:

1. If you are already on a page of the public wiki (home.picolisp.com),
   log in and then click on the "My account" link.

2. Otherwise, go directly to the wiki application (wiki.picolisp.com)
   and log in there.

In both cases, a click on the "Wiki" link on the top left will bring you
back to the public wiki.


In the Maintenance GUI, not all menu items may be enabled (depending on
the permissions).

The "Documents" menu item opens a search dialog, which lists how
documents were changed, in reverse time order.

Clicking on '@' in the leftmost column leads to that document. It shows
the current "markup" of that document. Each change to a document creates
a new markup object (both in the public and in the maint GUI).

The "Revision History" shows all changes by summary, user, date and
time, and links to the differences.

If you click on a difference, you'll see two links on the top. They
point to the two markups which produce that difference. Clicking on such
a markup brings you to the view of that markup, representing the
document at that point in time. You can step through all markups with
the "Previous" and "Next" links.


Normal "Member" users should be able to do only changes which are also
possible in the public GUI. If you want to experiment more, also as an
admin user, you can download the Wiki sources and run it locally on your
own machine.

Cheers,
- Alex
