Old Proposal

Analysis

  • Different naming notations:
    •  Watch this page 

* Watch page: WatchList


    • Watch space: Improvements (but this way offers more information )
      •  Watch this space 
  • Need a way to add pages/spaces to Watchlist without being on that actually page -  Add Watch 
  • Remove from Watchlist =  unwatch  - just like in the menu "Unwatch page/space"
  • Watchlist for Administrator =  My Watchlist  - more personal
  • Space = All pages in the space
    • Mark with  *  or  All 

* * more criptic, but more easy to spot in a list

  • Possibility to  subscribe  to Watchlist or individual interest pages in a single interface, without the need to go to the specific pages

Other features nice to have

  • Unwatch all watched pages with a single click
  • Possibility to filter for the latest modified space/page
    • Show the last modification date
    • Filter by recent
  • Statistics with most active pages / spaces
    • number of lines added
    • number of comments/attachements added
  • See modification type: text, comment, attachement
    • just like the dashboard - but for specific/interest pages/spaces
  • Offer the possibility to enable/disable a page/space watched without deleting it
    • good if you want to create specific RSS feeds, containing just parts of your Watchlist
  • The ability to create multiple Watchlists: on different topics
    • if this would be used on departments: have a Programming Watchlist, a Design Watchlist (i am interested in both)
