Basically I have content that I want other websites (blogs, facebook, other websites) to use and display. For example a list of our new articles, or excerpts of news stories that are randomly picked from a pool of content. I'm guessing exporting stuff into RSS is the best way to provide content to other websites. Although I-Frame could also be one, or maybe not, I'm not sure. I've looked at these RSS feed generating extensions: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Feed_generator_extensions But I havent found anything that can work. One does only bulleted lists (Bullet Feed) and another (WikiArticleFeeds) only works with 2nd level headings and they're both very restricted.

Does anyone have any advice about this or any experience to share?

Semantic MediaWiki can do RSS feeds (and all kinds of other data exports, e.g. RDF or JSON if you want to push data; it is not really focussed on RSS in any way). Exported items are always complete articles, with <noinclude> used to limit what the amount of text pushed to the feed. Examples of this are, e.g., at the SMW homepage:

http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki

Most features of SMW are not really relevant if you just want RSS; basically you could export articles by category, most recent item first.

The above category on MediaWiki.org was new to me; I will add SMW to it.
