Require filling in revision log [#109197]

I am wondering is it possible to open 'view revisions' permission on handbook pages? Often times I see an handbook page is updated and wondering what are the changes (lots of updates do not come with a log). I am particularly interested in this because I am working on translation of some of the handookpages to Chinese, to be used on our Chinese community site.

Hmm...as I am writing this, I just realized there isn't a good diff module in drupal for me to really compare revisions, or is there?

documentation maintainers and site maintainers can see the revisions. Diff module is not installed on drupal.org so you have to review by eyeball. I am unsure if diff module will be installed on drupal.org, it needs a review and such and other metrics to reduce the load on the database are being looked at right now as well.

If you wish to join the drupal.org doc team, sign up on the mail list and let me know.

Uwe, thanks for the link. Last time I checked diff module, it didn't work quite well for me. I notice there is a new 5.x-1.0 release, nice...i'll check it out.

@sepeck, thanks for your reply. I'd like to help on documentation as much as I can. English is not my native tougue, so I am not really good at writing docs from scratch. As I said, I am working on translating some of the handbooks, although in a very slow pace, most probably I will go through most of the handbook pages literally word by word. So I can definately help on proof-reading and correcting typos/errors etc. I have subscribed to the documentation mailing list, please let me know how to sign up and how do I start. Thanks.

Alternatively, maybe make the revision log a required field, so editors won't forget it? The new revision info will be properly logged and viewable to all on the handbook update page?
