But I want to see all of the changes to the wiki. I want to see the ones from committers, because that's just like peer review of the code base, as Noel suggested. I learn from that as much as anything. And I want to see changes from other folks to see who's contributing what. If wiki changes didn't result in notifications, I don't know how I'd ever track what goes on on the wiki. It's not like I'd go surf the entire wiki periodically to see what new content has shown up. The only kinds of changes that I don't really want to see are from the people who haven't quite grokked wikis yet. They go make some stupid change, commit it to see if they can, and then immediately back out the change. And then there are some people who haven't figured out Preview yet, and so make a long series of minor edits after a major one. But the delete key takes care of those quickly enough. IMHO, what we have works just fine. Just bring the right tools (mail filters and the delete key) to bear, and there isn't a problem. -- Martin Cooper > > I don't know the inner workings of the moin wiki system but if we > could separate the changes from committers from the rest it would > certainly reduce the workload. > > Something like: > 1) put the "Editor:" field in the mail header > 2) make sure only apache committers can create wiki accounts with an > apache email address. > - disallow creating apache.org account from the website > - provide a shell script to register a apache.org wiki account > (for users with server access) > > This way we can trust the change emails from "Editor: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" > and put those into a separate mail folder. > > If we are changing the email header, putting the URL in a mail header > would also be nice ;-) > > Does this sounds realistic? > > -- Dirk > > Noel J.
