Ok. But you wrote:

So others could see the edit summary? (Shudder ;)
Maybe an optional message box would be helpful (editable). The message
while editing might not be the same as the edit summary.
Two separate messages for one short edit might be a bit overkill.
Dunno about everyone else, but my usual editing sequence goes
something like this:
1. Make a change
2. Type an edit summary and set the watch/minor checkboxes
3. Preview
4. Save or go back to 1.
Chatting with each other while editing? Like an IRC
channel with the
title of the page?
Some kind of chat features would be kind of cool (but a totally
separate project), bearing in mind that:
- discussing anything "serious" by chat is bad for talk pages as it's
not recorded
- IRC already exists :)
However, it would certainly be useful as not everyone has access to an
IRC client, and it would be more centralised if built into the main
interface.
