Maybe this is a silly idea but it would be nice if

get it via
whichever RSS mechanism they choose.
I think that is a great idea. Doesn't MoinMoin support
RSS or syndication already?
If not, RSS xml is simple enough...if some one can
point me at the correct db.tables for the MoinMoin
page edit logs/changes, generating a script to write
xml/RSS files then fired via cron would be KISS, IMHO.
(And just drop the display list of 'subscribers'...if
they want it let em come get it via RSS).
I was thinking about this a bit more -
it might be easier for people to deal with one RSS feed rather than one
feed per page they are watching? So maybe they subscribe to pages using
the same mechanism, but in their preferences page when they login, where
it has all their subscriptions, they can also grab one RSS feed that
they can get info on all the pages they're subscribed to. I still think
one feed per page is also good - maybe someone who doesn't have a wiki
account wants to keep up with one page.
