Hi Hagan, Thanks for this tip. I should have mentioned we did try this route but found that the feed to the browser does not offer us the same flexibility as the feed direct to Thunderbird (e-mail). With the browser it is difficult to set up the frequency of when to get the updates and the browser feed typically provides just the url of the page, the user then has to click on it to view the page. >From a work perspective my users are in two groups - those that use the wiki to author data, and those that use the wiki to read/respond to the data. For the first group - the RSS feed isn't an issue, they are using the wiki all the time anyway and are the cause of the updates! For the second group - they would only go to the wiki when prompted (by an update) and do not use the web that often. Instead these users are using Thunderbird for most of the time for e-mail, so it's naturally intuitive for them to use the RSS folders within Thunderbird to manage the updates - as they look and feel like e-mail. Also the benefit is the feed update frequency can be set within Thunderbird some of the data in the projects are time very time critical. It is these second group of users I'm trying to address as they are not that "web savvy" and I'm trying to make it easy as possible for them to subscribe to the pages. My first idea was to have an icon with the recent changes url+?action="" on every page - but I don't know how to go about doing this - hence the question to the alias..... I had also thought about creating a page with table that shows page name next to the url , i.e if you want to have a feed for group.page X then copy url Y into Thunderbird. This is not very elegant but might work until the list gets quite long - and of course it suffers from the fact that I have to monitor each new group.page as it's created and update the table. So at the moment I'm a bit stuck.. Perhaps there are other/better ways of doing this too - I'm open to any further suggestions. Best Regards Graham H.
