Hi Lukas Smith! You wrote:

That reminds me it would be nice if we could get a daily digest of all wiki pages that have seen changes. I say digest because for a wiki getting a mail per change doensnt seem like a sensible solution. However without such a digest its hard to (passively) monitor the changes, especially for pages that are not updated often.

Sounds like a practical feature. :) To which mailinglist?

I can't say which mailing list, but I can say I've done something to make it easier. Yawiki 0.8 (just released :-) now supports page-specific RSS 2.0 feeds. To get the RSS feed for page, do this:

    http://wiki.ciaweb.net/yawiki/rss.php?area=PEAR_Dev&page=PearMeetingSummary

This defaults to showing the last 24 hours of change notes. You can use two additional URL variables: 'type' (the type of feed you want to see, by 'edits', 'hours', or 'days') and 'amt' (the amount or number of edits, hours, or days to get changes for). So, to see the last 10 edits...

    http://wiki.ciaweb.net/yawiki/rss.php?area=PEAR_Dev&page=PearMeetingSummary&type=edits&amt=10

... or the last 2 days:

    http://wiki.ciaweb.net/yawiki/rss.php?area=PEAR_Dev&page=PearMeetingSummary&type=dats&amt=2

Anybody who likes can now set up a cron task to hit the RSS feed and send an email to whatever list they like. Let me know if this helps or not. -- Paul M.
