The first step will be the public pages and ancillary resources
(OASIS Library, wiki, etc.) but eventually will result in an entirely new suite
of tools for TC management. It’s a significant undertaking and we have few
resources, but work is underway.

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,
