Thread:User talk:J.a.coffman/GSoc 2013 Proposal/Accessing the revisions

How exactly would that work? How would you quickly access a specific revision, considering that in a normal compressed file, you need to decompress all content before a specific point to read data from that point? And how would you find that point, based on the timestamp?

Also, how would for example get the latest revision for a certain page? Or all revisions of that page?
