The frequency is fine with me.
Ok. (I didn't expect an objection here).
However, my real question concerns the content of this message. In
addition to a list of pages that have changed, I'm considering
including the actual changes to the wiki pages (like a diff/patch).
Don't do this as this will for some days result in huge emails. The
current behaviour is OK, I usually go on that page and veiw there the
diffs when I'm interested.
Yes, some days such a message could become rather long, and that could be
a problem for some users. (Especially modem users, if those still exist).
Another problem generally speaking is "security", since in theory some of
the wiki pages might be "read protected" so that not everyone can read
them. That's a general problem and not a problem for wiki.lyx.org.
Would you change your opinion if there were two kinds of notifications
sent out. One notification post that's just like today, and another
notification post with a different subject that also contains the patches?
Anyway, I'll postpone all of this until much later. Before I bring it up
for discussion again, I'll see about implementing something and sending it
only to myself. Then I can also make a judgement about what the real
volume is.
Best regards
