The first is a text only, local only script and the other is db based (as I remember) web script. So... no. It's possible to use the new algos from doc-base version to recreate a fast web-doc script, but it will need a local git checkout of GitHub repositories. Anyhow, I think we should work on revcheck (if there's the need for more > work), and decide afterwards what to do with edit.php.net. :) > It's necessary to qualify what one you are asking... the doc-base one or the web-doc one. The doc-base only has been receiving updates, slowly making him back to his former glory, as it is heavily used by translators who prefer command line. The web-doc one, focused on translators on the web, will suffer more from the lack of capacity to generate individual file diffs in a consistent manner. André
