I've worked up a patch for a first pass at allowing users to elect to have email sent to them when pages of the wiki are updated. Andreas suggested I post it and something of an overview of the approach to generate some discussion. I haven't tried to 'darcs send' it, but I could if that would be easier.
I just want to give some short feedback. I like your code but I'd like to defer inclusion until the next release is out (If I can get my ass up I will do a release this weekend - but no promises)
Thanks! Sounds fine to me, just wanting to help.
Ah... that does sound much better (smacks head with hand). I knew I needed locking,
I'd like to discuss the locking mechanism as well. The .mlist file needs to be locked for a very short time while writing only. The lock doesn't need to survive multiple script runs, too. So I think it would be more efficient to use the locking mechanisms provided by the underling OS using the flock() call instead of creating lockfiles our self...
