Wikis, some at least, can gen rss feeds for RecentChanges and the
like, even subing to a page.
Problem is I do not know many wikis that let me keep a thread on my
palm (insert offline device of choice here (though that term offline
is quickly going the way of betamax)) other than something like
plucker or saving the page as a static That though would not show
historic changes etc etc. Ponderings.
Now for many convos I have had over the last 16 or so years with one
particular group of folks (voxers) its mostly all IRC and that has
logs on my end, so archiving for future search for incrimination
drunken typos is okgo.
But all this is so 1992.
Yea rss can ping ya when there are new bits, but not every vector is
in that channel. What you need is a method of piping the many vectors
in and squirting it down however the heck you like. This way your wiki
is my email is someones twitter is the next fellas feedreader fodder
is anothers daily talking moose generated podcast is some poor blokes
widget filling iphone surcharge.
Rather than making the masses adopt an orthodoxy, but this is
preaching to the interop chior me thinks. Malicious compliance and
forced layering is the call of the day.
Once i get back into code work I should be able to solve all of this
in about 3 mins (check the date)
