Following two consecutive days of office hours, we’ve reached a consensus on what the UIUI User interface should be for comparing a single revision to the current version of a post:

comparing-one

Based on the above mockup from @karmatosed, @adamsilverstein is continuing development of the new revisionsRevisions The WordPress revisions system stores a record of each saved draft or published update. The revision system allows you to see what changes were made in each revision by dragging a slider (or using the Next/Previous buttons). The display indicates what has changed in each revision. interface on ticketticket Created for both bug reports and feature development on the bug tracker. #23497.

Once we have an acceptable, working prototype, we’ll revisit how to present the interface for comparing two different revisions. @nacin suggested, and we generally agreed, that a single slider with two grabbers would likely be a workable approach, but we’ll discuss that further once the above interface is implemented.

No progress to report on the other tickets scoped for 3.6 as we’ve been focused on UI lately.
