Instead of sending out mails, I'd like to collect the observed changes in a per-user list that the user can view. In other words, I am thinking of a feature like the one on drupal.org where clicking on "My issues", http://drupal.org/project/issues/user, shows the list of subscribed nodes with a red "new"/"updated" in case a change occurred to the respective node. (Unfortunately, the implementation on drupal.org is coupled to module Project, which is too specific for my needs.)

I have searched for other 5.x-modules that do this but have not found any. Subscriptions seems the closest. Also, I imagine even with email delivery, a summary page like described above would be useful.

Have a look at the Tracker and Live Discussions modules. These might be close to what you're seeking.

Tracker is part of Drupal core.

Live Discussions is at http://drupal.org/project/livediscussions

Thanks a lot for the hint. It seems to me, however, that Live Discussions only works on comments (and not on arbitrary changes of content), and that Tracker does not give you much flexibility in specifying which content (i.e.: not all content but only certain stories) of a user to subscribe to.

What I needs is this:

  1. A user can subscribe to any node (and unsubscribe, of course).
  2. Any changes to the latter node(s) will be reported to the subscribed user(s): file uploads (attachments), comments, content (title, body), and content changes in CCK fields.
  3. "Reported" can either mean by email ("active notification") or simply by providing a list (for the user) where she/he can ("passively") look what has changed. Once he/she views the node, the node gets removed from the user's list. For each observed node, the user can choose which kind of notification is to be provided.

Which module comes closest to this? I am willing (and have some experience) to code. If module Subscriptions comes closest, would there be interest in this? Would it be possible or do you already see problems?

Many thanks,
Kaspar

The new Subscriptions 2.0 (currently in beta) and the new Privatemsg 2.0 (currently pre-beta) in cooperation with mail_edit provide the functionality that you're looking for. Please help test (and possibly give a hand on the Privatemsg side, if needed)...
