In the interest of making it easier to track the development collaboration going on in zope.org wikis, you can now subscribe to email notifications about changes to any of the wiki pages. Some of you may have noticed that the all zope.org wiki page footers have grown a "Subscriptions" link in the past few days. This takes you to a page where logged-in visitors can subscribe and unsubscribe to notifications about changes of that particular page, to current and future offspring of the page, and/or to changes of all pages in the wiki. We've basically finished the implementation and have tested a bit, and it looks ready to roll. The zope.org wikis have proven to be very effective in enabling people to help formulate and comment on development efforts. However, as their use has grown, and it's become easier for people to contribute feedback eg by commenting, it has gotten much too hard for anyone to keep an eye on the items that interest them. We're expecting that email notifications will correct this, by providing active, immediate notifications about changes directly to the subscriber. In the interest of making the notifications, themselves, manageble, we've tried to put information in the headers for easy sorting/foldering. See the NotificationFormat page in the project wiki for details: http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/FishbowlNotificationsForNow/Notif... We also want to make it easy to keep track of and disable your existing subscriptions. We were able to do that for per-page subscriptions by cataloging them in a special site index, with a link on the subscriptions page launches to a search which identifies all the page-specific subscriptions for your userid. Unfortunately, the current implementation does not allow for cataloging the wiki-wide folder subscriptions - you'll have to track those down as you get notices for them. We'll be getting new experience with notifications for large numbers of users, so some adjustment may be necessary as we see the usage scale. We'll be posting followups here as relevant. (This addition of notifications was implemented with only a small time window, possible because we could use code that simon michael recently developed for the original ZWiki (on which zope.org's WikiForNow is based). The give and take between ZWiki and WikiForNow has been very good - i know it's been beneficial for zope.org and zope corp, and understand that ZWiki has benefitted from work done in WikiForNow. It's a good collaboration - thanks simon!) -- Ken klm@zope.com
