Hi,
If anyone's not aware of the FlaggedRevs extension, it's a neat extension
that allows for certain groups of users to flag specific versions of a page
as being "valid". What's shown to regular readers is then the latest valid
version, instead of just the latest version, in the same way that software
usually has both "latest" and "stable" versions. You can see more here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FlaggedRevs
It's already in use on several language Wikipedias, including German,
Russian and Arabic. It can be used both to guard against vandalism, and, for
internal wikis, to mimic a "publish" feature that standard CMS's usually
have - that information is not displayed officially until someone has
approved it.
It seems to make a lot of sense to me for SMW to support FlaggedRevs, so
that if that extension is installed, the semantic data for a page isn't
saved on page saves, but instead on page "validations". I don't know how
this would be done technically, but I'd imagine it wouldn't be that hard.
Any thoughts?
