Description

When a new version of a previously-published project is submitted, there should be an easy way for the editors to see what has changed:

  • in the page content (highlighting differences from the previous version)

  • in the file content (as a first step, just showing what files were added/removed/changed would be helpful)

(It would also be nice to be able to diff between multiple submissions of a single ActiveProject - see issue #484 - but diffing an ActiveProject to a PublishedProject should be a somewhat easier problem to start with. :))
