I think he may be referring to my unofficial (screen-scraped) RSS feed of "Today's Featured Article" hosted on my web site at http://jeays.net/wikipedia/featured.xml ?
I don't even know if I can officially give or deny permission?! In any case, everyone is free to use the feed.
HTH,
Mark Jeays

Hello,
I'm writing to follow up on something I asked about a little while ago that has come up for us again. I wrote to you around two months ago asking about whether or
not we could
use an RSS feed of the Wikipedia "Todays Featured Article" block to include it in a piece of educational software we are currently in the process of developing, but we never got as far as to request whether or not we could do this.
So the question we are trying to get answered is, can we include the RSS feed of the "Today's Featured Article" section in this educational software package that we are developing? The include would be displayed on the students "Start page",
the page they
see when they first open up the service to gain access to other information.
This permission would be greatly appreciated,
Regards,
James Johnstone head of development ayion educational
