Post Versioning: MT-Revision for WordPress. Public revision diffs are a goodness.

David Weinberger: I’ve turned off trackbacks on this site because I’m getting about 100 a day, of which a tiny percentage aren’t spam. Too bad. Trackbacks address a real need. Well, again, crap. It does me no good to be utterly ping-spam-free if nobody accepts them anymore, especially since I depend on people who send […]
