@antirez Switch to PostgreSQL? It has much more resonable locking mechanisms.

As we hinted in several places, including the discussion at Pro tracker, we are currently working on email notifications, so that you can follow (watch) activity at Wikidot by receiving emails directly into your Inbox.
The feature is really great (we have it enabled for a few testing accounts) and allows you to be instantly notified about page edits, forum discussions, page comments etc. for pages, categories or whole sites.
So far our favorite feature is page comments by email. If someone adds a comment to a page you are wathing, you are almost instantly notified about it. Here is an example. Let us say that James commented on my blog post. Within minutes I got an email with full content of his comment.
From: James Kanjo <automailer@wikidot.com>
Subject: New comment on page "One post per day - will it work?" at michalfrackowiak.com

Good idea Michal
Squark shouldn't you make a similar commitment? Michal's not the only blogger we are anticipating more posts from!
You received this email because you are watching site http://michalfrackowiak.com
To stop these emails, go to http://www.wikidot.com/un/u/1-XXXXXXXXX
The feature should be available for all users later this week. What we also think would be very nice is the "reply by email" option where you can simply hit a "Reply" button in your email program and your reply automatically gets posted as a comment too. But this will come later since it requires a bit more work.
Obviously email notifications solve an important problem of users not being notified what is going on in their sites. We have seen many contributions to both public and private wikis left unnoticed by other members. Although we do provide full activity stream by RSS already, sadly RSS is still not common and easy enough to use to watch changes at Wikidot.
So far we have seen this feature alone enormously improved our online activity at our own wikis. Hopefully this will also work for many other users.

Yippee! Great to hear it.
Like "handbook" - which is (hopefiuly) overloading me?
Or for all the Sites where I am member ?
( Community ? , )
And perhaps automatically - without a great chance to stop it?
or are such Mails "Once" per day?
Service is my success. My webtips:www.blender.org (Open source), Wikidot-Handbook.

Hi Helmuti,
I have started putting a description draft of activity notifications at a FAQ page here: http://www.wikidot.com/faq:watching
By default we will subscribe all users to the sites they are members of + pages they edited.
Also there is a one-click way to stop watching any of the sources.
I realize there may be a problem of initial email-flooding of activity emails, so it is crucial to provide a quick way to unsubscribe quickly. There is a one-click way to stop watching any of the sources.
From what we have seen this will help maintaining better communication between members of individual sites and solve the problem of members not actually being aware of what is going on no their sites.

Sounds great. As a new Wikidotter (is that what we are?) with one wiki I don't check wikidot every day so I'm looking forward to email notification

Ok so we've all enjoyed using Wikidot and all its features - but we all now have experienced this new feature and are finding faults. Is any work going on to reverse this feature - e.g. changing the default for notifications to be "off" unless specifically requested by the each user.
I'd also suggest that the editor of a entry can elect to publish a notification or to keep it quiet (I like to tweek things - but if it causes a notification to dozens of people then I tend to let things rot)
That's my main issue with notifications. Does anyone really need to know every single time I fix a typo?
