Hi,
I'm not quite sure this is the domain XEclipse will bring the most improvements to.
Indeed, you can alrady go through this process in an effective manner using your desktop RSS reader in combination with the new RSS feed that includes Diffs. Using it you can scan updated pages almost in real time if your Reader queries article often enough, and check modifications right into it.
Then you still have to go to the website to rollback crap changes -> wouldn't the best way to speed this process be to add a "Rollback" button right into the RSS feed that would show up if the account you are retrieving the RSS feed with provides you with appropriate rights? In the case of public feeds, the button could still show up with a warning saying it will open the page in your browser...
Or even a simple "go to page history" link available right into the RSS feed so that you can accessthe historyt quickly when needed...
About XEclipse, topics such as object edition or (why not?) a potential integration between XEclipse and the future GWT WYSIWYG editor (yet to define for sure) would seem to me more in keeping with XEclipse original aims...
WDYT?

It does rock!
I've started trying to use it for real yesterday for managing
xwiki.org and I found some usability issues on navigation (I have
created jira issues for those), so these are things we should work on
in the future to make it even greater.
This is the process I use on xwiki.org in my browser and which I'd
like to reproduce in XEclipse:
* View the Dashboard page to see what pages have been modified
* For each modified page, go to the page
* View the history and compare the change with the last version to
see what was modified
* Rollback or delete page (in the case of new pages) if the additions
were some crap
Right now this is not very easy to do with XEclipse and improve those
would be great.
Thanks
