CentOS docs - Jul 2015 - notify emails from wiki.centos.org

hi folks,

making a few edits i just noticed that a lot of emails get sent out on
every edit on wiki.c.o - this isnt a problem as such, but i wonder if
its better for more people to use an rss feed ?

alternatively, do we need/want a wiki-commits list that gets all of
these, and people can just subscribe to that list ?

Regards

Hi Karan,

May be there exist an  option to disable the notification ?  most of the
wikis have  options like  "minor edit, dont send notification.. " .

I read each commit and have for many years, as an anti-spam 
protection, as well as checking editorial content.  It is a 
'push' approach, presently end user configurable, and 
lightweight (run a diff, and toss it into email)

RSS is a 'pull' media, and so 'loadier' on an end user having 
to click a webbish form, send a new request tot he server, 
wait for content to be marshalled, and returned.  Much 
heavier, and not well suited to a 'push' workflow

Not a good idea, as I see it, to move to just one approach, 
when the incumbent is presently used, in the code, and 'just 
works'.  If more outbound email delivery capacity is needed, 
that is out of scope from a wiki issue, of course

I count just 9 to 10 people who have a setup to receive email for
every edit. This may not be "a lot" ? I personally prefer email
notifications but implementing rss may benefit those who like that
option.
