!!# Tiki Objects: maintainers and freshness
* Starting with Wiki Pages, Tiki objects now can have maintainers, an update frequency and a freshness, i.e., how long ago it has been updated. Then, when an object becomes too old relative to its update frequency, Tiki will send emails to the maintainers reminding about the need to update it (console.php objects:notify-maintainers)
