[edit] DiffShovel
DiffShovel is a program intended to help editors quickly review a list of edits made by one or more editors.
[edit] System Requirements
These are the minimum packages necessary to run DiffShovel. However, since DiffShovel is written in C#, it's also possible to run DiffShovel on Windows using .Net.
[edit] Features
In its current, pre-pre-alpha state, DiffShovel can:
- Load a list of edits from an SQLite database
- Display that list onscreen
- Display any selected edit from the list
- Cache diffs for fast and non-network-intensive reviewing
[edit] To-Do
For its alpha release, DiffShovel will be able to:
- Allow SQL-like statements to filter the edit list on almost all criteria
- Stack diff displays on top of one another for easy comparison
[edit] Background
In September-October 2007, Shadow1 was contacted by FT2 about writing an application that would allow for high-speed edit reviewing. Thus, DiffShovel was born. DiffShovel is fast, completely free, and totally cross-platform thanks to the Mono project and the GTK+ bindings for C#. Its only limitation is how long it takes to download and cache the edit list (but that's easily done overnight).
