We're going to try and do a better job of keeping good github repositories of NYTimes open-source projects, but for a more focused selection, there's also http://beta620.nytimes.com/

So can the original author go through the list of edits and then either accept or reject them?

That would be anwesome feature. Then you've literally created a peer review system. Well at least the basic building blocks.

I for one would find this very useful.

Out of the box, you can do this in a very basic way. If you check out the tinymce demo version, you will see two buttons for accepting and rejecting changes which use ice's API (`acceptChange`, `rejectChange`) to modify the nodes.

We wanted the focus for ice to be on change tracking only so we intentionally left out track changes presentation/interaction details. I think there is a lot of potential for good UI/UX tools to be built for the track changes that ice produces and I would love to feature them in the project wiki.

Cool I'll take a look. Great work and thank you for open sourcing thus!

Nice project, but why is it GPL licensed? This makes its usage quite restrictive and impossible to use in a closed source product.

I agree that this is an issue, and I plan on working to remove this restriction in the future.
