Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

We researched adding an MDN like KB revisions feature in bug 823891

Since the effort seems reasonable and demand is there, we should go ahead and build it.

Carrying over the comment from bug #823891:

"""
I skimmed their code and I think this is pretty straight-forward. The page consists of a view that loads the html/javascript which then does an AJAX call to the same view for the data. Then it periodically updates the data.

The data is retrieved via Django ORM queryset stuff--there's absolutely nothing fancy going on caching-wise or otherwise. The filters are straight-forward.

Our Revision class has the fields we'd need to filter against.

Setting up the view code should be pretty easy. I think the bulk of the work here is going to be doing the html/javascript side of things. I think this is at least a 2 pointer. It's possible I'm underestimating the html/javascript work required which would make this a 3 pointer.
"""

Hedging towards a 3 pointer because there are differences between the MDN Revision model and the SUMO Revision model that we probably need to account for and I don't know enough about the html/js side to estimate that with more accuracy.
