Be able to be mailed once (and only once) when the topic is next changed (useful if you expect and answer on a topic)

Even better would be a way for users to add themselves to the notification for single topics only (with optional 'once' which makes the name get removed from the notification list once the user has been notified next). The obvious problem is authentication as users could screw with other's notification settings as well as locking. Buttons (add me/add me once/remove me) which control the addition in the background (in a otherwise write-protected storage per topic) might do. Maybe need a separate file TopicName.notif which is managed by the buttons in the topic. This might also allow a central 'my subscriptions' topic which lists all subscribed Webs/Topics and provides a central place to manage them. -- MathiasKoerber - 29 Dec 2002

This is a variant on NotifyOnPerPageBasis

It's also a specialized case of EmailNotificationEnhancements

Which is where it's listed (in EmailNotificationEnhancements that is)...you'll note it under "Misc. Enhancements"...I decided to put it there instead of under the selective scope heading because I think it's a more specific thing, and perhaps deserving of a specialized implementation.

For example, having on the edit page a box for a WikiUserName or EmailAddress? labeled "notify on next edit by someone else" would be a very convenient and useful implementation of this feature. Of course, it would probably rely on the same enhanced notification backend as the more general EmailNotificationEnhancements.
