Hi all,

I would like to ask some help to do one thing and brainstorm a little about some tools for crowdsourcing wikimedians ideas.

1) My first question is if someone could help me to create a RSS feed of threads of the Portuguese Wikipedia village pump (= /esplanada/). The feed would contain the title and link to the thread, the thread body and the author. Our /esplanada/ has one subpage per thread, which makes easy to watch what I want. See bellow

http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Esplanada/geral

But I miss sometimes topics being created only using my watchlist and a RSS feed would facilitate my life to read and follow all threads I am interested in using an aggregator or even making the feed send each thread by e-mail. Once I created a RSS feed using a Web service that found HTML patterns, so I think that could be done in a similar way (I cannot remember the service name now). Would be easy to create a Python script for that? (maybe with beautifulSoup?) Any other method suggestion?

2) Not only for reading purposes, I also would like to add this threads and possible ideas inside the discussion on systems like All our ideas http://www.allourideas.org/, OSQA http://osqa.net (see this example http://ideas.okfn.org/) or possible other softwares to evaluate the best ideas and threads using a crowdsourcing model - other ideas for tools welcome.

Any help for 1 and any idea for 2 is welcome. Thanks,

Tom
