Code Revisions: Week 1

My  did get quite some feedback – not overall good. I expected the negative feedback. I did not take part in the discussion, but I think others did a nice job there (thanks Jen & Aaron). Also thanks to the developers who offered to give support when I might get stuck.
To make it short:  I already prepared myself for this project before the official coding phase started and could skip the initial “warm up phase”. At the moment I am ahead of the timeline.
mostly was on the connection between a file and a post (), the initial creation of a post when a file is edited for the first time () and the updating of the corresponding post on every edit (). I also chatted with my mentors about the brought up security worries. We will definitely look into those and discuss them (and possible solutions) with lead developers – the code resulting from this project will not make it into core if it introduces security flaws!
The next week will be about viewing code revisions. This on the one hand includes a revisions list which needs to be added below the editors () and on the other hand fixing possible problems with the revisions view on revisions.php (e.g. ). I will take the negative feedback as a challenge and still hope to get code revisions into core. Till next week then.. Comments are open! - Full Post
