Some random thoughts on the idea:
* Could it maybe discard the current auto-saved draft if the user clicks the
"Cancel" link under the edit textarea? Generally if I
click this, I've decided what I was about to say wasn't worth saying, in which
case the draft probably isn't worth keeping either.
Yes, that makes sense...** grabs a piece of paper and begins scribbling **
* Is it worth storing a diff, rather than the whole
page? Say you're on a busy page, your browser crashes or there's a power cut,
you reconnect, and reload the saved draft - however other people have modified the page,
and now you have to merge your changes with
their changes. However, maybe this is taking a decent idea and making it just too damn
complicated - in which case please disregard
this - I'd rather see a slightly simpler version that might happen, than an
over-complex version which won't happen ;-)
I won't store diffs, but it might be nice to see if, when loading a
draft, the changes from the draft could be merged into the current
edit window, rather than replacing it.
