## recentchanges
-* Should support RSS for notification of new and changed pages.
-
- This can be a static rss file that is generated when the wiki
-is built. (As long as all changes to all pages is ok.)
-
* Should support mail notification of new and changed pages.
Hmm, should be easy to implement this.. it runs as a svn post-coommit hook
also needs to tie into the main logic, to determine what pages need to be
renered, so maybe that won't be a plugin.
+## blogging and rss
+
+The wiki should emit rss feeds for pages. The simple case is a regular
+page. The complex case is a blog composed of multiple pages.
+
+### single page
+
+Just create an rss feed with one element, that contains the last diff to
+the page, or the contents of the page, or something like that. Whenever the
+page is changed, rss readers should see the single post in the feed as a
+new post, so they'll dump out the page again. Simple, allows subscribing to
+any page as an RSS feed if you want to see just changes to that page.
+
+### multi-page blog
+
+This also takes care of the feature of wanting to make a wiki page
+comprised of several sub-pages that can be independantly edited. Add a
+token that can be embedded into a page and that specifies a [[GlobList]] of
+pages. Now when any page matching the globs changes, this page must be
+updated too.
+
+For the html rendering, just embed the most recently created N pages in the
+[[GlobList]], with the title of each being a link to the individual page,
+plus a link to an additional page that lists all the titles of every
+matching page in creation order (archives). Plus at the bottom a small web
+form that prompts for a title and allows creating a new page for a new blog
+post.
+
+For the rss rendering, generate a proper weblog of the same pages.
+Of course for permalinks use the links to the subpages.
+
+Note that this allows for weblogs with different sections, etc.
+
+Requirements:
+
+* Need to keep track of creation dates of pages in the index file.
+* Need to keep track of the globlists in the index file.
+ - Probably need to redesign the index file format to allow for this sort
+ of future expansion.
+* Need to make _ render as " " in page titles.
+* Also need to support as much other punctuation as possible in page
+ titles, ideally all of it. Punctuation that is illegal in filenames for
+ various good reasons should be embedded encoded in the filenames. Blogs
+ tend to have more punctuation-intensive page titles than wikis.
+* Need to pick a good token and note that the token will need to be passed
+ multiple parameters. Possibly something like this:
+
+ [[rss pages="myblog/*" show="30"]]
+
## revisit case
Being case insensative is handy, but it does make the [[BackLinks]] a bit
## lists
* list of all missing pages
-* list of all pages or some kind of page map
+* list of all pages or some kind of page map (probably covered by the rss
+ feeds stuff above)
These could be their own static pages updated when other pages are updated.
Perhaps this ties in with the pluggable renderers stuff.
