A new extension has been added to the OpenOffice.org Wiki that may be of
some help to those of you who are involved in translating
documents/pages in the Wiki.

The extension is called WatchSubPages, and it allows you to put a watch
on an entire subpage structure in one step (instead of adding a watch
page by page as it is by default).

You can find it here:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Special:Watchsubpages

To use it, you type in the top level of the Wiki book or subpage
structure you want to set a watch on (leave Namespace set to (Main)) and
click Go.

For example to watch the French Administration Guide, you would type in:
  /FR/Documentation/Administration_Guide
and click Go.  A summary of the pages that will be added to your
watchlist is shown, and you click Add pages to finish.

>From then on, anytime someone makes a change to any page in the French
Administration Guide, you will get an email notification.

This can be done on any level in the Wiki and for any project (not just
Documentation).

If there are other MediaWiki extensions that will help you work with the
Wiki more effectively and efficiently, let me know.
