[opencms-dev] OpenCms wiki online

[Ron Wheeler]

One of the things that I have seen on other projects is a notification 
of changes to the wiki where e-mails get sent whenever the wiki changes.
In one forum, the forum ( in our case - "opencms-dev at opencms.org") was 
signed up as a wiki participant with notification so that the mailing 
list gets notification of changes to the wiki. This meant that eveyone 
was aware of wiki changes with the author having to write a separate not 
to the forum. It generates a fair amount of traffic in the forum but 
they are easy to identify.
I do not know if the wiki software supports this but we might try it. It 
will be really useful in the initial stages of getting the wiki going.
