Editing posts - possible?
Hi, I recently started to use D*. After making a couple of posts I noticed a typo in one of them that I want to fix. However, I do not see a way to do that. Tutorials at http://diasporial.com/tutorials were no help. Am I missing something?
Thanks.

Often you have forget something, or there a new facts that have to include into the post.

definitely, users feel lost when they cannot edit posts. must have feature.

short period of time (or until someone interacted with the post in any way) - plus there shouldbe a message "edited @ 13:37" after a post has been edited.

It's a need especially when occurs some typos in posts. Maybe only allow editing just for few minutes after the message had been posted or if there are no one comments or like

Regardless of the problems of implementation, in the absolute, yes, it should be a feature. Edited posts should be labelled as such with a timestamp for last edit. Notification of edit to commenters would be a plus (though tricky to do, I guess).

Here's a proposal:
* Always allow editing.
* If the edit isn't done shortly after posting or there are likes/comments, label the post as "Edited".
* Label older comments "Posted before last edit".

I know it's hard to implement, but it's a must have in my eye's.

Making edits transparent by versioning the post would be great. Versioning may also be usable for federation

Alone, alone. - I'm a fan of simple-as-possible solutions and editing (or specially the actions for transparent editing) would be much to complicated for users and the technical background.
A simple non-transparent editing isn't a solution anyway.
