Hello,

I was wondering there was some code running somewhere to present the
modification done by a user in his browser into a patch or a branch in
a repository of Sphinx sources.

This feature adds the simplicity of the browser for quick edition to
the existing much more powerful controls made possible via a real text
editor, command line tools and a vcs.

Among the code hosting sites, it seems that Github and Google have this feature:
https://github.com/blog/905-edit-like-an-ace
http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2011/01/make-quick-fixes-quicker-on-google.html

Github uses the ACE editor while Google uses CodeMirror (both free software)
http://codemirror.net/  (has a restructured text mode)
http://ace.ajax.org/

Cloud9 is an online editor using ACE and paired with Github. This is
free as in beer.

Rosetta from Launchpad and Transifex from Fedora offer a comparable
feature of letting people propose translations which ends up as po
files in the sources repositories.

Questions:

1. Do people have used these Javascript editors? are they convenient
or usable compared to vi/emacs?

2. What interface is needed/envisioned for the Sphinx websupport
module to accomodate the javascript editors on one hand and the source
repositories on the other han?

Have a nice day bye,
