Make rss-feeds of more parts of trac available

[Martin Häcker <spamfaenger@…>]

Hi there,

I frequently want to have rss feeds that monitor specific parts of a trac install. Now the only part of trac witch offers rss feeds are the TracTimeline, the TracReports and TracQuerys and the TracBrowser.

What I'd want is more flexibility mostly in the wiki, so I can have rss feeds of changes on a individual website, or only websites with a comon prefix.

Now, offering rss links on every page would be not very good I think, as it would be hard to explain on which page you get an rss feed of what option - BUT on the Timeline page it would be very natural, to restrict it only one page, or only pages with a specific prefix.

And then simply offering an rss feed for the currently selected options.

Maybe, but not for 0.9.1.

This could be achieved with timeline filters. As such, somewhat related to #1198.

Subscribing to individual wiki pages would be doable without much pain (similar to what is done with the ticket RSS feed)

I also had in mind to fill a ticket in order to be able to see a specific per-page RSS on each wiki page. So, yeah +1 :)

Subscribing to individual wiki […] similar to what is done with the ticket RSS feed

If we use the wiki history, we couldn't extend this easily to handle more than one page per feed, but I think that in order to be really useful, we need to publish changes to sub-pages of a subscribed page as well.

If we use the wiki history, we couldn't extend this easily to handle more than one page per feed, but I think that in order to be really useful, we need to publish changes to sub-pages of a subscribed page as well.

I think we should do both:

1. A wiki history page should offer RSS.
2. The Timeline could be extended with a "name filter" which could be used with other existing filters to just present the history of named wiki sub-pages.

Though my activity here is very low at the moment, I could have a look at the Timeline aspect at the same time as when I (eventually) continue working on #6492 (considering that this ticket is 5 years old, there shouldn't be any hurry with this).

If these two suggestions are accepted, perhaps two "sub-tickets" should be created to coordinate each proposal above?
