I don't need to see the actual editing, down to keystroke level, as in a 
remote desktop session. My use case at present is working in a 
conference room with no projector; I just want other people to be able 
to see the work in progress in their browsers, refreshed every few 
seconds or minutes.

Since Zim auto-saves on updates, would it be possible to flush the 
webserver's cache for a modified page as it does the save? Then the 
webserver would be as up to date as the disk image, which is more than 
enough for my use case.

I assume the webserver has some kind of cache, otherwise it couldn't 
serve the pre-saved version of a page, right? I don't image there are 
many users with high enough traffic on the zim webserver that clearing 
the cache would be a big problem. But it could also be made a preference.

Is this harder than I imagine it, or could it be a reasonable feature 
request?

TIA,

MikeM
