A bakery suggestion, eh? - How would it help the bakery and the Bakers? Not sure about the font stuff. |
|
| |
[edit] Have you read the Help pages? Did you try a few searches before suggesting this? Jutta might argue that there's no invention. |

I like it as a general document processing statement - All edits should have a highlight colour which fades to the background colour over time... It'd make auditing documents very easy. In that case - May I suggest the addition of as special UV lamp (slightly different frequencies will show edits made weeks/months/years back) - Tricky to do in real life, possibly, but nevertheless a neat idea. |

Welcome to the bakery. What I've found is write ideas as specifications (at least the serious ones) - try to imagine having to actually solve the problem. |

I did but found nothing similar. I have seen the [edit] marker before but not everyone uses this. Also in a big idea you might have to search a lot to find the edit that was made. this would allow you to: |
|
| |
A) drop the [edit] tag which would clean up the documents and reduce length of documents overall(and save server space too) |
|
| |
B) save time in locating edits allowing more time for formulating ideas to post |
|
| |
The halfbakery category is intended for suggestions rather than outright invention as the rest of the site, so, the validity rules are relaxed. |
|
| |
As for this proposal, I don't agree and think that adding a mish mash of edit markup serves no good purpose but will make it ugly. |

Welcome, [jhomrighaus]. I like your thinking. I've also thought of ways to bring new content to one's attention more easily. But having spent a fair bit of time here now, one of my favourite things about this site is its simplicity. Many other sites seem clumsy and overengineered by comparison. [+] for your thoughts. |

Outside the context of the HB, given the emergence of Unicode and its relatives, and given that the storage requirements for text are becoming trivial, I wonder if some sort of extended time-stamping on a per-character basis will be useful. That way, even text removed from the context of the document in which it once lived would keep creation and modification times, version number etc.. <vague> Sort of a fractal or holographic Wiki concept. </vague> |
|

//save server space// I'm curious about the size of the entire HB. I imagine it's only tens or hundreds of MB. And wouldn't the time and date information needed for your idea require more space than the '[edit]' tag? |
