[Phpwiki-talk] Diffs

[Jeff D. <da...@da...>]

Hi Steve, Arno, et. al.

I've just set up a new experimental Wiki at http://www.dairiki.org/HammondWiki/
.
(It's dedicated to Hammond organs in case that wasn't obvious.)
It's based upon phpwiki 1.1.6b.  Great work!  And thanks!

One of the things I'd like to see added is diff's from the previous version
like the ones you get by clicking on the last edit date in the c2.com wiki.

I see in the phpwiki-talk archives that there was some talk of diff's a couple
of weeks ago, but that there was some hesitancy at the idea of implementing
the diff functionality within PHP.
(The motivation of that discussion appears to be the desire to keep an
RCS-like history of all changes to the Wiki.)

There's a (somewhat well documented) Perl implementation of the diff algorithm
at:
  http://www.plover.com/~mjd/perl/diff/

I suspect this could be used as the basis of a PHP implementation.  With some
encouragement from you(all) I could even be convinced to work on the 
conversion.
Interested?

Best Regards,
Jeff
