I've searched high and low for a solution to this without success, so here's my proposal: BACKGROUND ---------- Here at the office we've started using the RSS feature in RecentChanges to track changes to our MoinMoin 1.3.4 wiki site via Firefox/Sage and Thunderbird RSS. It's a great feature, but it appears to be lacking an important capability that limits the feature's effectiveness--- ISSUE ----- The RecentChanges page only lists the last change for a particular page and does not retain previous changes to that page within the RecentChanges timeline. The ugly side effect of this for RSS feeds is that if you decide to not use the "unique=1" option, you'll get notification of each change, but the link will be the same in every article. So, let's say you haven't read your wiki rss in a few days and you see 8 articles indicating 8 changes to a particular page. When you click on the link within the articles, instead of getting a diff page for each change, every diff page shows only the latest diff. REQUEST ------- Create a configurable parameter for maintaining an archive of past diffs available for individual pages (just as you can view a Revision History listing in Get Info) and for each diff to be available in the RecentChanges timeline, so that links in the RSS articles will be unique and point to specific diffs. Additionally, if this was a tunable parameter, one could set a limit on the length of the diff archiving, e.g. diff_archive_length = 7 #for either days or number of diffs Thanks, Chris ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: New Crystal Reports XI.
