History Flow Shows How Wiki Articles Evolve

Posted by Zonk on from the shows-border-wars-between-wiki-thugs dept.

teslatug writes "IBM has released a preliminary alpha version of its History Flow Visualization Application that shows how collaboratively created documents evolve. The tool is written in Java and it's available for download along with plugins for MoinMoin and MediaWiki. They have some interesting screenshots of the Wikipedia articles on abortion, Brazil, and love."

    You're linking to a troll propaganda piece and your signature indicates that you want Terri Schiavo to continue living.

    I don't care for either of those things.

    Ah well, nice comment tho.

    Who is Terry.

    I will not pray because God has nothing to do with it. As if praying will make any difference, I suppose you believe in the easter bunny too.

    Hey BUDDY, keep the Terri crap OUT of SLASHDOT. It's propaganda, it's irrelevant, and it's pissing everyone off.

    This is what I call american stupidity at its best. They need some thing all the time - After gay marrige, here you have one more. The most powerful nation in the world does have hollow foundations.

    PS: I am american and not proud about it. Outsource me.

  7. What is wrong with a little prayer? by jefedesign · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    People need to chill out a little. It was a harmless statement. And even if it wasn't intended as nothing more then a statement, what is wrong with freedom of religion? We should all pray! Pray that idiots(not referring to anyone in particular), psychos, trolls, and the like suddenly burst into flames, or lose access to this forum. Stop the flaming.

      Oh, he has the right to say it if he wants to, but it's still a dastardly thing to sneak it into a post that has otherwise nothing to do with Terry in a discussion about something other than Terry. That message will be broadcasted because the rest of his post was +5 insightful, despite the fact that his "Terry" line definitely was not.

      Praying. The lazy alternative to taking action.

      I think he's paying the priced for including adverts in his sig. Asking people to pray to santa or whoever is no better or worse than the 'get me a free iPod' sigs.

    Interesting. A mod bitchslap simply for mentioning She Who Shan't Be Named here in otherwise informative, non-troll posts?

    Seems a tad vengeful, no?

  9. It's the Media by nsaneinside · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The truth of the matter is, people want drama in their lives, however lame it is. They expect the media to give it to them - and so they do.
    Who do we blame? IMHO, it's the general population's fault for wanting the drama.
