Wiki RSS change notifications
Hello,
would anyone object against little notification mails being send to this
list when pages in the Wiki get updated? I've attached a few samples.
Regards,
</Steven>

OK. In the mean time, I bought all these Python books, and ventured into
my first real program [1]. Being unhappy with all this RSS2email stuff,
and due to HEP's slow progress (and it being to large to wrap my peanut
brain around it to help it move forward anythig faster), I wrote [2] a
little application which goes fetching the recent changes across XMLRPC
from the Wiki, diffs when possible, and sends the result as an email.
All wrapped in a crontab script. It sounds much more glorious than it
is, really.
Given the fact I can now really control what it does, suggestions w.r.t.
mail headers are very much welcome. The script runs hourly (if all goes
well ;-)
Thanks for the challenge, Sylvain!

OK. In the mean time, I bought all these Python books, and ventured into
my first real program [1]. Being unhappy with all this RSS2email stuff,
and due to HEP's slow progress (and it being to large to wrap my peanut
brain around it to help it move forward anythig faster), I wrote [2] a
little application which goes fetching the recent changes across XMLRPC
from the Wiki, diffs when possible, and sends the result as an email.
All wrapped in a crontab script. It sounds much more glorious than it
is, really.
Given the fact I can now really control what it does, suggestions w.r.t.
mail headers are very much welcome. The script runs hourly (if all goes
well ;-)
Thanks for the challenge, Sylvain!

+1 if it's possible to attach a diff.
Otherwise, this doesn't give much more information than the recent
changes page.

Good idea, thanks!
If you could add a prefix like [WIKI-UPDATE] or something to the subject
line for filtering it would be ideal.
