Description

It would be great if moodle could send an email to the users of a course if something changes in it (like a new assignment, grades or a new file etc) so you don't have to look into all your courses once a day to see if there were changes.
There could be only one mail / hour send to avoid high load of the mail server and the feature should be optional.

I started to develop such block in the Moodle 1.6., but then leave it because of lack of time. I can post my old code there if someone is interested.

The basic idea was to create subscription to the course using a special block (so create a modular solution, which you can easealy add to moodle). Subscription and e-mail part can be adapted from forum activity, while notification of chahges - from Latest change block. So the overall script is very simple.
