Howdy, thanks for posting this.
It would be awesome to visualize wikipedia edits overtime. I don't really care about what the text says, just how blocks of it change over time. I am after the ascetics present in the ever flowing change of data. I think your script might be a good starting point. Think of the videos of a flowers growing, that compress months into a few seconds. Do something similar with wikipedia edits.
- keenerd 18y agoI've been doing something similar with my blog, except it is currently for people who do care what the text says. The diff algo is tricky, I should have built up a larger corpus of material before designing. It looks at paragraphs, sentences, sub-sentence structures, words. It even draws little sparkgraph-ish diagrams. It is not really that long (250 lines by wc) but it has been a huge time sink for tweaking. For an example of some heavy editing: http://kmkeen.com/inabow/2009-01-07-11-22-00.html http://kmkeen.com/inabow/2009-01-07-11-22-00.html
