Timeline bookmarks for logged in users

[anatoly techtonik <techtonik@…>]

MoinMoin wiki has an awesome *Bookmarks* feature on history page for logged in users. ​http://wiki.python.org/moin/RecentChanges It would be nice to get that thing for Trac. Allows to foster this nice feeling of control by ensuring you don't miss anything.

Can you elaborate what this feature does for those of us not familiar with MoinMoin? Is it in any way similar to our green bar from #9282?

[anatoly techtonik <techtonik@…>]

Similar, but different:

1. history is not highlighted, it is limited
2. bookmark is set explicitly
   • from page content header
   • from daily header

The feature might also be a good fit with the ​th:BookmarkPlugin.

Propose a wontfix here because ​th:BookmarkPlugin is enough for that and Trac is a minimalistic approach to web-based management of software projects.

[Peter Suter]

I agree. (You can also already use the timeline RSS feed to manage your unread items in an external reader.)

[Ryan J Ollos]

I also agree that the timeline RSS feed is a good way to manage this.

Initially I was thinking the feature request was to bookmark resources from the timeline, which is why I suggested the ​th:BookmarkPlugin. I opened to ​th:#11626 for the feature of bookmarking resources on the timeline. We might also be able to have a bookmark to limit the timeline history, but that won't be high on my priority list. It might be better as a separate plugin, but if you'd like to contribute a patch to ​th:BookmarkPlugin I'll certainly take a look.
