First of all let me say, Jim, that I *really* like your analysis of the
"Review Drafts" use case. You are so right that, as a reviewer, I want
to focus my attention on the changes not the stuff that's the same. I
really hadn't given this issue much thought before you brought it up.
That said
Good question. There are so many ways to skin this cat.
I was hoping to hammer out a UI sample at RailsConf, but time just
disappeared...
Here are my thoughts...
- On the page edit screen each page part would have a "create draft"
button. That draft would appear above/below the textarea fo
Jim,
While I agree with your idea in principle, the primary unit of
manipulation in the interface is the whole page, including its parts;

I haven't had time to work on this myself, but I was thinking about
the interface and I'm curious to hear how the community expects this
to work.
Once a site is up and running, I would expect that people would want
to use drafts in 2 different ways.
1) each page has a draft. Any and all ass
A little comment about this, and another "we did that for Redken" story.
As Chris said, Radiant's design (visual and workflow) would need to be

This issue was brought up some time ago so it might be worth checking
the maillist history, but I'm not sure anything was ever implemented.
One of the interesting things brought up , if I remember correctly, was
the mention of Rick Olson's acts_as_draftable plugin. It might be worth

I'm going to ask the client if they would give permission for me to release
it. Right now, it only works for mysql, as I'm using mysqldump. Works
