At de.wikipedia, we are using the MediaWiki namespace

current events.
Has anyone tried to export those parts into a rss/rdf file, i.e.
[[MediaWiki:Hauptseite Aktuelle Ereignisse]] on de or [[MediaWiki:In the
news]] on en?
Somebody's running an RSS feed from [[Wikipedia:Announcements]] on en;
this is done with a scraper and the file hosted on an external site:
http://jeays.net/wikipedia/announcements.xml
There is built-in RSS2 and Atom feed generation support now for
Special:Recentchanges and Special:Newpages. IIRC both pages are
cacheable, though of course RC changes very frequently on en! If they
turn out to be problematic, we can have them update only periodically.
