I suspect it isn't done because it isn't a very good way to modify a
complex embedded base of software, Lila. Generally, when modifying a
complex embedded base, one designs first, iterates implementation and
internal testing, and then releases a

Hi all,
I've had a significant update to Live Preview in the pipeline for a while now.
It brings a few major improvements, the most important of it being able to load
resourceloader modules that the preview requires, fixing a whole slew of
problems that the old implementation had. The only
Something else that I have had in the pipeline for a long while is autosave
drafts. Basically, whenever you type, the article is saved to your local
computer. If the browser crashes, and you visit the same article, it will
prompt you for recovery. Making a Special:Autosave drafts index page
An online autosave with certain limitations would be even better.
I'm wondering about *private* autosaved drafts for registered users,

delta) from the 2 last articles user is editing.

Hey,
1. As an editor I'd like to flag a revision as reviewed/verified by me
