[Zope] Wiki change notification

[Shane Hathaway]

Zopistas,

I had an idea today that I thought was worth trying out.  I added to a
few FrontPage's some HTML which allows you to receive notification every
time any page in a Wiki changes.  It uses the NetMind service.  Just go
to the Interfaces Wiki and enter your e-mail address at the bottom of
the page.

Zope-Edu is also one of the wikis with the new feature.

What's does NetMind actually do?

The problem I see here is getting an email everytime someone hits
update, which can mean you get a storm of emails when a coupla people
edit a Wiki.

I thought of a Zope-based solution for this but haven't had time to
implement, not to mention it requires product that's bust:

The idea is to only get notified once a day when a Wiki _Web_ has been
changed...

The folder the web is in would have a lines-type property containing the
email addresses of everyone 'subscribed' to that web. And a flag called
changed... any page changes, the flag gets set.

Once a day (needs ZScheduler :( ) a method goes and checks the flag,
compiles a message containing links to all the pages that have changed
(including being created or deleted...) and mails it to everyone in the
list.

Anyone want to implement it? ;-)

cheers,

Chris

 Heh heh... that's almost exactly what NetMind does, Chris. g

Cool...

I'm guessing it's not written in Zope though... ;-)

cheers,
