FND and I have been having an ongoing debate about why and how best to
do a recent changes system for a wiki that is hosted by TiddlyWeb.

This is something FND wants more than I do, and he has specific
requirements for how it should work. We started having the email not
in public and then realized that it would be better served by having
more voices involved.

On a TiddlyWeb sever you can already get a sorted by modified time
list of any collection of tiddlers by doing something like:

   
http://peermore.com:8080/recipes/AutoTiddlyWeb/tiddlers?filter=[sort[-modified]][count[10]]

(BTW, if the atom tiddlyweb plugin is being used on the server, you
can can get an Atom feed of the that url by changing it to look like
this

   
http://peermore.com:8080/recipes/AutoTiddlyWeb/tiddlers.atom?filter=[sort[-modified]][count[10]]

this is how I tend to keep track of changes on any wiki, as long as
the feed is useful (i.e. full content))

A simple list is not really a recent changes as you might see on a
proper shared server side wiki. It lacks a bunch of info about the
changes. Fred's initial spec is:

* one entry per revision (combining subsequent edits by the same
author on the same tiddler could be done later)
* the following fields are relevant:
** modified
** title
** modifier

FND also points to MediaWiki's example[1]. I'm of the opinion that
MediaWiki gets nearly everything wrong, for example I don't want a
list of every revision, I just want a list of those pages that have
changed, but it has been suggested I'm in the minority on this
account.

What would you want to see in a Recent Changes in TiddlyWeb? It should
be quite easy to create a plugin that does whatever is desired.
