(apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere, I've tried searching first)
What would be involved in making a module to allow a user to specify why they have edited their post?
I'm sure you've seen this feature in other forums - you usually get a small note at the bottom of the post saying something like "Reason for edit: I can't type properly!"
I seem to remember there is are module-accessible extra fields for each message. Could they be used to achieve this?

No coercion intended, this is for users that *want* to provide a reason - and it means those that do will have their reasons shown in a consistent manner.
It's not high on my list of priorities, but it's a fairly common feature that I've seen on other forums.

The forums I've used this feature on only held one field too.
