Hi, I 've been using the swiki (email) alerts for a couple of days now on an intranet swiki. It's adding quite a bit of value to swiki's as a collaboration tool!
Virtually, All team members have their MS Outlook open all the time. We're creating an MS Outlook folder per page swiki page we get notifications for, and rules to move swiki alerts from our inboxes to the corresponding MS Outlook folder. This way we get a 'gauge' per folder/swiki page indicating number of changes. Great!! This is working great now, but, we want more (who doesn't ;-) Or, should I say, we want 'better'... I'd like to be able to filter out swiki alerts for any page updates that are typo corrections rather than content changes. Providing, next to the alerts text box on the edit of a swiki page, a 'checkbox' saying 'Do not alert the alert subscribers this time.' is just one simple way to do this. Before spending time (a lot of?) on trying to understand how the different classes collaborate in swiki space, I'd like to get some feedback on the above suggestion for extending swiki. Much appreciated, Fred.
