I was just about to suggest something like this... why not let users
create their own customized pages for watching/tracking changes to other
pages?
Perhaps something like this could be used:
(:watch-pages after=2005-04-30:)
* [[Some page that I'm watching]]
* [[Another page that I'm watching]]
(:watch-pages-end:)
where only pages that have been modified after 2005-04-30 are shown in the
list. Something like this
(:watch-group PmWiki after=2005-03-30:)
could be used to generate a list of pages in the group PmWiki/ that have
been modified after 2005-03-30. The actual directives above are just
examples of course... a better syntax would be needed.
Maybe RSS could then be used to monitor your watch page?

PS. Something I like with the idea above is that I could do something like
this:
(:watch-pages after=2005-04-30:)
* PITS:0001 -- waiting for response on fix
(:watch-pages-end:)
i.e. make notes to myself about what to do with a page. Oh... and in order
for the above to be useful, pages that haven't been modified lately should
either not be shown in the list at all, or with a faint/weak colour.
