## 3.6 Proposed Points from <devchat>

# Autosave
- We should never lose anything EVER.
- Seriously. EVER.
- Details TBD.

# Distraction-Free Writing
- Smoother transitions. It feels like a separate screen
- More easily discoverable
- More responsive
- Perhaps slightly more featured, so people can use it for most composing

# Revisions
- finally fix the off-by-one issue (misattributed revisions)
- Better diffs, that provide more usable information with fewer clicks (e.g. words changed, red/green graph, etc)

# Writing modes
- a bit pie in the sky, but the ability to add new writing modes (like Visual/HTML) might be interesting for plugins

# Post Formats
- We made post formats, but didn't do anything about adapting the UI

# Lockouts
- The way post locking works now is not ideal. Multi-author blogs deal with this all the time
- Real locking
- Ability to kick someone out and take over
- See that someone is editing before you click (from post list screen)

# Editorial Flow
- We have "submit for review", but not for additional changes
