Hi Emmanuel, Thank you for your answer.
The "recent change RSS/Atom feed" will provide a list of modifications, not a list of created/updated pages. This makes a big difference if a page is updated many times during several days. My weekly email digest is intended for an internal Wiki, in a fast-grown company where 60 computer users in 7 different services (20 users in 3 services one year ago) must share information (plannings, meetings, procedures, operating instructions, memorandum, etc.). I believe most of them won't parse a website to find some news. Even a "Recent changes page" won't be a solution, because they will have to remember to check this page from day to day. This is the reason why I choose email : this is the current main information source. 2015-02-14 16:47 GMT+01:00 Emmanuel Engelhart <[email protected]>: > On 14.02.2015 14:39, Georges DICK wrote: > >> I installed Mediawiki (and a couple of extensions) as an intranet website. >> >> Everyone in the company is entitled to publish, so my fear is people >> missing important information.
