Hi Emmanuel,
Thank you for your answer.
The "recent change RSS/Atom feed" will provide a list of modifications, not
a list of created/updated pages. This makes a big difference if a page is
updated many times during several days.
My weekly email digest is intended for an internal Wiki, in a fast-grown
company where 60 computer users in 7 different services (20 users in 3
services one year ago) must share information (plannings, meetings,
procedures, operating instructions, memorandum, etc.). I believe most of
them won't parse a website to find some news. Even a "Recent changes page"
won't be a solution, because they will have to remember to check this page
from day to day.
This is the reason why I choose email : this is the current main
information source.

I installed Mediawiki (and a couple of

Everyone in the company is entitled to publish, so my fear is people
missing important information. My idea is to send a weekly e-mail to list
every modified pages (link to page, author, last modification date).
I started to write a PHP script as a demonstration and it now works pretty
well. So I have two questions:
- I first unsuccessfully tried to find something similar, but maybe I'm
re-inventing the wheel?
- If I'm the first to build such a feature, maybe someone else could have
some interest in it? If yes, how to publish (this is not an extension, but
a standalone software reading a MySQL database)?
Why not using standards for this, ie. the recent change RSS/Atom feed?
If you really want to have a weekly email digest (what is IMO not a good
idea), then you scan use any kind of "feed2email" software solution.
