I envision each document having a unique ID of some sort, and then having a notification system that tracks mail addresses for those who want notification, and tracks when documents are updated. We could possibly even use some sort of version control system and just hook a mail system into it, so when changes are committed, the list is notified. Maybe Ask can organize this, and get help to put it together. -- Chris Nandor | pudge@pobox.com | http://pudge.net/ Andover.Net | chris.nandor@andover.net | http://slashcode.com/Thread Previous | Thread Next
