An RDF feed listing the last 10 non-minor updates to Wikipedia is available at http://www.wikipedia.org/tools/feed-en.rdf (replace 'en' as desired to get a feed for the other languages). Updated every half hour, so it may miss things at busier times. ;)
Thanks to the magic of RDF, Kuro5hin.org users can now select a Wikipedia headlines box in their display preferences.
Users of Ximian Evolution for e-mail can also put the feed into their 'Summary' page via Tools/Summary settings/News Feeds/Add news feed.
Suggestions for improvements and other uses are welcome at http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDF_spool

Great! I'm using this in my RSS import to http://susning.nu/Wikipedia
Why isn't it generated on the fly, just like the Recent Changes page? I've had this running for ages on http://susning.nu/rss already, and it even uses the same code that generates the RC list.

Originally there was some weirdness with the APC cache, plus I was concerned that ''another'' million things knocking over the server for updates might worry it, but it seems smooth enough now so there's probably no good reason except that the static copy gets served a little faster.
If you want a live live feed, you can go to the script directly: http://www.wikipedia.org/w/FeedRDF.php etc

Hey, that's great! Genial invention... just one small suggestion to improve: could you include the language name in the channel title?
channel:title:The English Wikipedia channel:title:Die Deutsche Wikipedia
If you subscribe to more than one Wikipedia they have identical names...
Another question: what would be better (for Wikipedia performance) to keep track of recentchanges on Wikipedia? If many people use RDF or reload good old RC?
Should we add WikipediaRDF-Feed to http://www.syndic8.com?
greetings, elian, just discovering RDF: so much information :-)
One risk of a live feed of this is that a few jackasses may think it's a good idea to hammer the server every 5 seconds so as not to miss anything. But that's something we can just look out for.

I was reading up on that; theres something in the HTTP protocol that can be used so people can only download the new RDF file if it has actually changed.
