List usage - messages from the wiki
Today the wiki sends a notification post to this list on a daily basis with the subject [LyX wiki] recent notify posts This message lists the pages at the wiki that have been edited since the last notification message. Is the frequency of these messages ok? Should I make it send messages less often for instance? However, my real question concerns the content of this message. In addition to a list of pages that have changed, I'm considering including the actual changes to the wiki pages (like a diff/patch). This would allow seeing changes to the pages directly from the notification message. Primarily it would allow me to visually scan for spam edits with a quick glance. A drawback is that the size of the messages will increase, it'll be more like a daily digest of a email list. Thoughts/opinions? (There's no rush - I wouldn't implement this in the near future anyway) Best regards, /Christian -- Christian Ridderström, +46-8-768 39 44 http://www.md.kth.se/~chr

Don't do this as this will for some days result in huge emails. The current behaviour is OK, I usually go on that page and veiw there the diffs when I'm interested. regards Uwe

Yes, some days such a message could become rather long, and that could be a problem for some users. (Especially modem users, if those still exist). Another problem generally speaking is security, since in theory some of the wiki pages might be read protected so that not everyone can read them. That's a general problem and not a problem for wiki.lyx.org. Would you change your opinion if there were two kinds of notifications sent out. One notification post that's just like today, and another notification post with a different subject that also contains the patches? Anyway, I'll postpone all of this until much later. Before I bring it up for discussion again, I'll see about implementing something and sending it only to myself. Then I can also make a judgement about what the real volume is.
