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.
