Add 'subscribe to changes' feature #71

Open timwis opened 8 years ago

Got the idea from git-data-publisher (example - click subscribe at the bottom-left). It uses github's commits atom feed. Ideally you'd subscribe to changes to the data itself, but JKAN could at least let you subscribe to changes to the metadata.

Don't see why we couldn't actually apply this to datasets. Granted it would require some 3rd party service like google feedburner or mailchimp to manage the feed's additions and edits and to ultimately provide the push notifications....

But we could take a similar approach to the generated data.json file and apply this to an xml template using rss xml specs?

I've done a Feed RSS including feed.xml file. Please look at https://github.com/iltempe/opendatagentediprato/blob/gh-pages/feed.xml for my project opendatagentediprato. this file should be generate a feed. obsiovuly you have to include in dataset schema PUB DATE field.
