[edit] Purpose

Ease communication between clients and web developers by demonstrating (and logging) progress to the client. Essentially an informal automated version control designed for client use, rather than developer use.

[edit] Features

Requirements

Progress

Finds all recently updated files and lets client view (if safe)

Clients cannot view files hidden by __ prefix, but still notified of changes

Crontab calls php script every x minutes (60)

Compares changed files to determine # of changed lines

Adds to database

Can see number of lines ever written/published (if we write 10 lines and then overwrite with 10 different lines, would be 20)

Takes snapshots

Client can compare before and after progress
