Q:

Is RSS feed a feasible & good option to inform users about the changes made on Parent level in Blueprint?

I am sure everyone here might be handling this requirement in different ways & hence thought to get an optimised solution.
Today many of our country users are left outdated with the changes made at parent level if the items are localized. 
We send the emails on each Live page publishing at the parent level including component details, but users end up receiving a lot of emails which is a pain.
I am now thinking to use RSS feed to post the details on weekly basis but would be interested to know if it is feasible and if you have any other good approach to deal this situation?
Thanks

A:

Rather than using an RSS feed with the changes of the past week, why not use a virtual Folder with a search query in there that shows changed items in the past week.
We have added a similar folder to the DXA BluePrint lately (will be exposed in DXA 2.0), the principles are very simple. The Folder is named Modified in the last 7 days and its source contains:
<SearchFolder xmlns="http://www.tridion.com/ContentManager/5.1/SearchFolder">
    <GeneralParameters>
        <SearchQuery></SearchQuery>
        <SearchIn xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="tcm:1-1-2" Recursive="true" xlink:title="Building Blocks"></SearchIn>
    </GeneralParameters>
    <AdvancedParameters>
        <Modified>
            <LastDays>7</LastDays>
        </Modified>
    </AdvancedParameters>
</SearchFolder>
