Idea for AutoSavePlugin

Hi. I have been running twiki 4.1.2 on winxp sp2 and Active perl 5.8.8 for about a month. We use it as an internal knowledge base in our R&D dept. Its simply great piece of software. Thank you for developing it.

Most of the time i have faced issues like forgetting to save the doc. We usually create a topic and the edit pane is kept open till end of the day. During the course of the day we add things to the twiki just like we jot down things in a notepad. Now in case i forget to save (usually hapens since u concentrate more on work ;-).. ) progress for the entire day is lost.

If there was a autosave facility, such losses could be minimised.

That does sound like a useful feature. I could imagine this being done with js. Obviously, it would need to be done on client side.

This could be done with AJAX and the REST interface.

CheckpointSave is a manual alternative to auto-save.

See also AutoSave.

(I renamed this topic from AutoSavePlugin to AutoSavePluginDev since this is a discussion.)
