I just wanted to suggest a slight variation on this. We could keep a simple
text Web page that contains a brief description of what has been changed or
added, sorted by the date the alteration is made. That way, some one can
tell at a glance what changes have been made where since a certain date.
This need not be burdensome if whoever is responsible for making or linking
in changes also includes a brief addendum on this page. While an automated
way to do this would be nice, it may prove to be more trouble to develop
than it is worth.
Something very similar to this is used in software version control when
several people are working on the same software engineering project, and
need to be updated on progress and problems with the project.
