Is anyone working on adding an RSS feed to the
Special:Watchlist page?
Presumably, most of the code could be shared / copied from
Special:Recentchanges. I might try to implement this if no one else is
working on this.
I think the problem which no-one has got around to solving is how to
keep the information private: currently, users cannot view each
other's watchlists, and although this isn't a big deal, I believe some
are unwilling to give up this privacy. Of course, the simplest answer
is simply to have RSS feeds disabled by default, and warn users that
by activating the feed, they are essentially "opting out" of this
privacy. Otherwise, some kind of magic authentication key needs to be
invented; or something.
