Actually the software won't deliver if the content is exactly identical to theprevious version. So. "made a change" is a prerequisite for saving (even ifthe change is as simple as playing with the be of whitespace in anarticle). In other words the edit summary still contained no information.-Robert Rohde_______________________________________________WikiEN-l mailing listTo unsubscribe from this mailing enumerate visit:
