The [ANNOUNCE] for changes ought to simplify the release notes, and having something easily filterable in the Factory list, gets you automatic asynchronous notification, that "polling a Webpage" does not.
There is a article History that can be consulted for any changes.
Still polling the web page, RSS was made so ppl can see when new articles are available.
To have use of article history without much digging, people editing page should leave note in the Summary field below edit window, what the change is about.
It would be even better to add sign with --~~~~ which will leave wiki ID and date change was written, so if there is any questions, one can contact author of announcement without digging in the article history.
Digging history without summaries is slow process, so whoever adds new lines to http://en.opensuse.org/Factory/Developer-News , please fill summary too.
Now you're adding unenforceable rules that I will totally forget, because I probably will only edit Wiki occasionally.
That's never going to work, because it's against human nature. The Wiki encourages quick changes, and it looks lke you're done, without doing those extras.
Also the wiki history is written even if you only change a single character on the page. And even with good summaries, you need to view the diff to actually fetch the info. Quite unusable for tracking the announce info. -- cheers, jano Ján Kupec YaST team ---------------------------------------------------------(PGP)--- Key ID: 637EE901 Fingerprint: 93B9 C79B 2D20 51C3 800B E09B 8048 46A6 637E E901 ---------------------------------------------------------(IRC)--- Server: irc.freenode.net Nick: jniq Channels: #zypp #yast #suse #susecz ---------------------------------------------------------(EOF)---
