** Big dissapointment here. It only works with the latest alpha version of the mediawiki software: 1.14a. However I think that in the future this would be an excellent option since it removes all of the issues that a cookie size limit has. I think that continuing to use the existing plugin as a stop-gap solution should be good for the time being.

**[[User:Steven J. Koch|Steve Koch]] 18:36, 7 February 2009 (EST): That is disappointing, sorry!  Are you able to read the code for the new extension and understand how it works?  Anything you could add to it?  I notice on the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Trevor_Parscal author's talk page] that he also has a [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LogEntry "log entry"] which looks interesting.  Are you sure that the draft saver doesn't work in our version of MW?  Your revisions to the livesaver extension were pretty cool.
