Hey.

It would be really great if we could have the "Recent Discussions" that come in our weekly wiki digest postable to a page on our wiki. Our 18000 campus way wiki has a "new and noteworthy" section and that seems like a perfect place to stick a box that had ongoing threaded discussions happening on the site.

Another idea would be to have a site blog where any of the members could drop stories or op. ed. pieces with photo's and links and all that, but that would sort of archive itself.

Has anyone figured out a way to do these things?

Thanks!

You could copy the recent discussions from the email into the page or create an RSS feed (create an RSS feed widget) and then paste this URL:

Are you not able to achieve this through using the EasyEdit toolbar? If someone makes a page and you have set your permissions so all your members can contribute then anyone else can help out and configure that page differently.
