[sfWiki-devel] Activity on home page

[Iain S. <iai...@ya...>]

Hello,

From discussions on the jos lists, one of the most common 
complaints about the wiki is that people think the information is 
old.  This typically occurs because the introductory pages are 
almost always relatively static with edits occuring "deep" into the 
wiki.

I was starting to kick around ideas of providing something like 
some slashdot-ish summaries of new pages on the wiki (page 
name, summary, and the first x words from the new page).  And 
maybe other quick statistics to show how "active" the wiki is.  Sort 
of like our changes page except in a small box on the home page 
of the wiki.  

Any thoughts/comments on a feature like this?
