Wondering if there is already work being/been done on making it easy to merge models. It may be much easier than I think, but I thought I would ask anyway.
Here's my specific scenario: On a site where users contribute a good deal of content, someone might come across a piece of content that could be considered a duplicate - an item, an article about a person, (a "question" in the case of stuff like StackOverflow). I'd like to be able to allow certain users to very easily be able to flag a duplicate, find the "other" model, and easily merge/fix the differences. One example is a Wiki with a page about "John Smith", and another about "Jhon Smith". In one case, the user simply spelled the name wrong. But perhaps there's some valuable meta-data, like "Links to John Smith Websites", and the first article has a few that aren't listed on the second. I'd like to make it fairly simple for a user to say "Hey, *this* article/item/model is correct, *this other one* is a duplicate, and keep the unique links from #2" make some final edits, and be done. The 2nd model would (probably) be (soft) deleted. I'm definitely not wanting to reinvent any wheels - so I'm looking for other projects that include some functionality like this, to at least look at as a starting point for how to do this correctly.
