The fact that we have so many wiki users right now is all the more reason for me to get the WikiNotify features working. This is a feature that mails out a list of "pages which have changed" every x number of days/hours for those that subscribe to the notifications. I believe users can subsribe to the entire web or just a certain page. This feature is a bit helpful to keep users in touch with what is going on. Last time I checked, it didn't work. But it works on my personal twiki, so there's no reason why it shouldn't work on salaam. Dave -- David J. Grant http://www.davidandnasha.ca
