If we are encouraging people to edit each others module description (or handbook pages for that matter), I would very much like to see an opportunity to register for an e-mail upon change, very much like how it works on Wikipedia. In that way, a maintainer (or any other interested) would automatically be informed every time a change is made. That is particularly important to make it possible to see small changes which otherwise could go undetected for a long period of time. I also would like to see reversion management of the pages, again very much like how it works on Wikipedia. What do you other guys say? <snip>
Handbook pages get edited all the time, and it shows up in your tracker.
Yes, but that wasn't what I was talking about. I was seconding inkfree's position that anybody should feel free to improve any module description even if they aren't the maintainer. But as contributer of a module, I would however appreciate to know if the description of the module was changed, so that I can review such changes, and if necessary correct any mistake. But on the other hand it isn't feasible to ask for instance Michelle to send a notice herself for every little change she does. It was therefore I venture to think how nice it would have been if at least the module maintainer would get an automatically notice if anybody has made a change to module's description. It's no big deal. Just a rash thought.
Revisions are already there for all nodes, which you can see if you are a site maintainer.
Yes, but again that wasn't what I was talking about. I am the maintainer of RoleAssign <http://drupal.org/project/roleassign>, but I havn't access to previous versions of the description I have written. It's no big deal. But if we are encouraging people to edit each others module description, I thought it could be a good idea if at least the module maintainer, who after all is responsible for his/her module, would be able to revert any change if necessary.
