It would be fine if it is capable to notify only diffs. I'm sorry for 
raising the previous topic, but maybe I can help in technical stuff.
As I found DataDifferencer class in the API doc, I believe it wouldn't 
be so hard to implement.

I also thought this could be a good way. But, as Alexandro pointed out, 
the problem is that each person has to get an account of the global 
site, which I think is nasty especially for the administrator of the site.

BTW, if SilverStripe is capable of sending mails to admins, it wouldn't 
be not very hard to make them send to public. What if we register a mail 
alias as an administrator account just to receive diffs mails? This 
seems the easiest way, although this is what I just come up with because 
I personally don't use any RSS feed reader on daily basis and I still 
want to stick on mail notification.

Cheers,
