Mary;
If there are plans to change the infrastructure, then
we definitely don't want to start down a path that will be a dead-end. But at
least I've lodged a feature request for the Drupal
deployment!
I'll let the SIDSC members know that we'll have to
manually email the list when we make Wiki page changes.
Thanks,
Bob

Hi
Bob,
That’s an interesting suggestion – that the TC maillist be subscribed. I don’t
know if that’s feasible, or if all TCs/SCs would want that implemented. A
member who updates a wiki page could also send a note to the TC list
indicating that they’ve done so – that would eliminate messages every time
something is touched. I’m also not sure how notifications work – if they
“inherit” or if each page would need a separate subscription. At this point in
time there are no plans for MoinMoin wiki changes; there is a major
effort underway that will change the way our main websites and public TC pages
are hosted; it is likely (but no decisions have been made as of yet) that
MoinMoin will go away in favor of Drupal-based
functionality.
Regards,
Mary

Mary;
I
guess I don't quite follow the logic ...
http://wiki.oasis-open.org/ content
is visible to non-members (a Good Thing)
non-members
can't login, and thus can't make changes (a Good
Thing)
non-members,
since they can't login, can't subscribe to topics (a Neutral
Thing)
members
can login, and thus can make changes (a Good Thing)
members
can't subscribe to be notified when changes are made by other members, and
thus collaboration is hindered (a Bad Thing, IMO)
Perhaps
there's something in MoinMoin's implementation that makes subscriptions a
problem for the way oasis-open.org is using it? But how about this
as a workaround:
The
http://wiki.oasis-open.org/ admin
makes the mail
list a subscriber to all topics in the web underneath http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/Semiconductor so
that folks who are part of the subcommittee are automatically "subscribed"
to changes?
Just
a thought...
Regards,
Bob

Hi
Bob,
That functionality has been disabled since it would not be available to
non-members.

Neil;
The
DITA Semiconductor Information Design Subcommittee is trying to use the
http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita for
collaboration, but one big hurdle is that people have to remember to go look
at the wiki to discover updates. When I select "Subscribe User" from the
"More Actions" menu, I get the message "You
are not allowed to perform this action".
So how do we get email updates sent to folks when changes are made on the
wiki?
Respectfully,
Bob
