Watching Wikis in Real Time
I have created an AJAX-powered extension to MediaWiki that lets you watch edits in a wiki in real time. It is like watching the recent changes page with an automatically updated view of the differences between articles.
Something like this would go a long way to make a wiki a credible medium for real-time collaboration.
Check it out at Special:AJAXWatcher. First, load up the page then make an edit on the Case Wiki.
More features will come soon. If the extension is buggy, I apologize. I can confirm it works with Firefox 1.5 on Linux ;)

Not sure how often I'll use this, but it's a neat feature... nice work!
