 2             ---++ How to Find out What's New?
 3             
 4             There are three ways to find out what's new in each TWiki web:
 5             	1. WebChanges shows recent changes
 6             	1. People subscribed in WebNotify get notified of recent changes by e-mail
 7             	1. A news feed can be exported in RSS 1.0 format for TWiki:Codev/TWikiSyndication. RSS news readers like TWiki:Plugins/HeadlinesPlugin can display the recent changes
 8             
 9             ---++ RSS Feed Usage
10             
11             	* The URL for an RSS feed is =%SCRIPTURL%/view%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/<web>/WebRss?skin=rss=
12             	* For this <nop>%WEB% web it is %SCRIPTURL%/view%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/%WEB%/WebRss?skin=rss (or %SCRIPTURL%/view%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/%WEB%/WebRss?skin=rss&contenttype=text/plain for plain text RSS)
13             	* You can also create a custom feed based on a search. Add a =search=value= parameter to the URL, e.g. %SCRIPTURL%/view%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/%WEB%/WebRss?skin=rss&search=plugin is a what's new feed about Plugins.
14             
15             ---++ RSS Feed Internals
16             
17             Each web has a WebRss topic which includes part of this <nop>%TOPIC% topic. This topic is the base for the RSS feed and generates an RSS 1.0 feed for TWiki:Codev/TWikiSyndication.
18             
19             The WebRss topic in each web contains the following text:
