Questions:
*Category addition possible (feeds for category:Europe combined with
published/whatever) not that important as we can just use the current
system for the non-primary feeds (aka
)
*Is the entire article in the feed, or just the first paragraph

I rather like the idea of this extension... The Wikinews RSS feed is nice, now, but
having the article text as the description would be *great*.

Hi,
I recently developed a MediaWiki extension, that allows to export news in RSS 2.0 and
Atom 1.0 format in easy manner. The extension is called "News Channel" and is
now available at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:News_Channel. Basically, when
user or aggregation program requests a feed, the extension gets specified number of latest
articles from some specified category (e.g. [[Category:Published]]), exports it to
RSS/Atom feed format and sends to user. Articles's title will be the headline and
article's text will be the description of news item. Feed is automatically linked from
every page of the wiki, like recent changes feed is linked. First I developed it for my
own site, but I thought it could be useful for other projects, especially for Wikinews.
Customization is possible.
What do you think?
Best regards,
Iaroslav Vassiliev
