From the Dept.

What I would really like is to be able to "subscribe" to a specific
Wikipedia article and be notified **in a manner of my choosing** when
updates occur.
via Bloglines, another RSS/news reader, via email or an IM / irc msg, etc...
I realise I can create a WP account and then my own custom watch list,
but quite frankly this ain't cutting the mustard for me (Dept. of
Dreams, right ;)
I have more than enough passwords, accounts and pages to check on a
regular basis, and I would generally like to have less not more. To
put it bluntly, I don't want to have to login and check a wikipedia
account...
Is there a way to do this?
Sort of a ....
WP watch list to *anything*
convertor / service....?
Why don't you write a script that monitors the History page of a
Wikipedia article and takes appropriate action when it notices something
has changed? I don't think Wikipedia needs to build in this function
(imagine the amount of email it would be sending out if it was like
that). I currently use cURL to grab my Recent Changes list for local
viewing.
