Personal Wiki Portal

There is plenty of discussion about a WikiPortal as a way to "join" views across multiple Wiki's. My thought is that the value of a WikiPortal is as a personalisable view into a single Wiki.

I would like to set up a MyWiki view into this wiki. It would allow me several panes:

Customised recent changes (how old, what fields to show)
Content filters (what pages have content related to which subjects)
Category filters (what pages have which categories)
Author filters (what pages have significant contribution/were started by which authors)
What else?

I suppose this wouldn't even have to be implemented on the "base" c2.com servers. I would think that it could be cobbled together from a commercial portal package fairly easily.

Would this be useful to anyone else? What other "views" would be valuable? How easy would this be to actually implement? -- BillBarnett

What if you were able to register your interest in specific pages so that Wiki would notify you when they changed? Forward you either a link to the page, or a diff showing what changed?

That would be wonderful! Let me choose link, diff, or copy of the page!

This would feel nice as a redirect service, i.e: I can create a service that I point at c2.com that filters the recent_changes, or looks for changes on topics. -- PaulSimmons

See http://usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?UnifiedRecentChanges to see how this is already possible. See how DaveJacoby already has a "personal wiki portal" to MeatballWiki at least at http://csociety.ecn.purdue.edu/~jacoby/Portal. Not difficult. Use http://usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?RichSiteSummary. Also see http://usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?CategorySyndication for ideas on copying content, and http://usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?DailyMe for another similar idea.

Also sounds like great features for a WikiBrowser.
