That would be neat. Certainly possible via a greasemonkey script or ff add-on. I've seen a few that do this kind of thing, either to share with other viewers (eg, http://shiftspace.org http://shiftspace.org) or to grab text for personal notes or research applications.
Speaking of blog feedback, applying this kind of markup to "inlined blog comments" would be neat. There are js widgets and wordpress add-ons that provide simple inlining/annotation of comments on blog articles.

Sometimes I'd like to be able to see what other editors have done. Is this possible? I wouldn't want to feel that we're all correcting the same spelling mistakes.
Another neat feature: automatic partitioning of file for different editors. Say I'm writing a long article or a set of articles. Automatically send different portions to different users. More efficient.

Do you use version control under this? This feels to me like applying open source review process to text.
- koops 17y agoIt is possible to see what other editors have done--it's a checkbox that the document owner sets. There's version control here, but not git/svn.
- diN0bot 17y agoword :-) did you roll your own repo? i can see advantages to matching up with existing technology for portability and outsourcing of features... or did you need fine grained control of changes? i guess each change could be a git commit, with your tables annotating the commit id.
- shimon 17y agoYou could do this with RSS. Let me add an RSS feed to my account, and consider each new item in the feed to be a new revizr document owned by me. Consider changes to the item text to be authoritative changes, i.e. versions approved by me. Let me put a link in or around my posts that takes anonymous readers to revizr.com/from_blog/my_username/blog_guid where they can make edits. This would make it a pretty viable "suggest improvements" tool for bloggers, very easy to integrate with any site that has a full text RSS feed.
