want to make it a little bit more human. Displaying usernames encourages a
sense of community. But like I said in my original post, an opt-out feature
would be nice.
Ah yeah, ok. The difficulty is how to make that opt-out work nicely,
without the user having to "quickly" hit some button if he doesn't
want others to know he's viewing the source or whatever. Hence your
request for a GUI designer ;)
More collaborative editing tools in general might be nice. We see so
much discussion on this list about the few really controversial
articles that get dozens of edits a day that we forget that the vast
majority of Wikipedia is a very quiet place where you rarely bump into
anyone at all.
