How can I be informed when pages are modified?

As a collaborative tool, a wiki's power is greatly improved when you, the user, is easily made aware of the pages that have been modified. Here are the different ways to achieve this.

By hand

How?

• Strolling on the web, you can occasionally visit the wiki you're insterrested in and click on "Last changes" in the left bar.

Pros

• you don't get annoyed when you don't want to be

Cons

• you can forget

Mail notification

How?

• TWiki can email you everyday a list of the modified pages.
• You have to subscribe once for each web (i.e. sub-wiki, as are Connect, TechStdOut, etc.).
• Edit the WebNotify topic in the web you're interrested in, and add your WikiName and email adress there.

Pros

• you don't have to move a single finger, the news just arrive.

Cons

• you may become a passive news consumer...

RSS feed

How?

• Tell your preferred feeds aggregator to monitor the URL linked from the left bar's RSS icon.
• It's available in https only, and your client has to be able to do http-authentification.
• You have to subscribe once for each web you want to monitor.

Pros

• you don't have to move a single finger, the news just arrive.

Cons

• you may become a passive news consumer...
