I appreciate someone does something, but this should

discussed. I would like to highlight that our goal should NOT be to do
this a way that is most simple for developers of mediawiki to
implement and most simple for devops to maintain and setup. Our goal
should be to make this feed most simple to implement into target
application (bot, tool) for the developers of that tool. The ideal
feed should be pretty simple to be parseable by something as trivial
as a shell script with netcat or telnet on remote server (absolutely
no need to use some 3rd party libraries). I am fine with using JSON as
one option, but if it's the only option this new feed is supposed to
provide, it will be very hard to implement in some tools. Basically
anything what will require some extra libraries will make it harder
than it actually is - despite it could be more flexible and faster.
I agree with the discussion, but I think this is a good starting point.
You can expect some patches from me soon. ;)
