About RSS
Really Simple Syndication (RSS) allows you to check for updates to wiki pages without
viewing the wiki. This lets you use RSS readers to receive RSS feed updates and notify
you of changes.
If you use Mail in Mac OS X v10.6 or later, you can receive mail and RSS feeds using the
same reader. Because they both use the same reader, you won’t need to change your
daily workflow to use RSS.
When you’re online, your RSS reader checks your subscribed RSS feeds at timed
intervals. Whenever a new page is created or an existing page in the feed is updated,
the RSS feed is updated and the RSS reader notifies you that the feed changed and
which pages within that feed changed.
The following shows how an RSS reader compares its current pages against the server,
and then updates its own pages based on the status of the pages on the server.
