It's also not always reliable and not always available from systems. I
have known administrator to mess with settings to always set that to
the current time for dynamic content, etc. But it could give a hint
that a person ought to check it out if no other mechanism is available.

If a feed isn't available, you could also simply use the HTTP Last-
Modified header (and/or Etag) to check if the source file has
changed. This doesn't help, though, if new editions are released as
separate files, like Tischendorf: http://files.morphgnt.org/tischendorf/

If the websites have some sort of syndicated feed, like RSS or Atom
or the like, it would be easy to write a basic script to pull the
latest info from that. Likewise if there is regular version
information in a web-accessible version of the file as well as the
module's config file on the lines of SourceVersion=1.7.6 or
SourceDate=1999-10-06 or something like that.
If that sort of information is not available in a structured way,
then tracking updates to the upstream material can become far more
difficult.

Do we have any system in place to monitor for changes the websites
where our
module source texts from from?
e.g. When the text itself has been updated.
Or do we rely on ad hoc knowledge and reporting by interested
volunteers?
