I proposed something similar some weeks ago, WikiForum. Here is the idea:
- New thread is created into "thread:" namespace then anybody can edit
it like all other pages.
- Each time a thread file is edited a forum page is rebuild according to
last modified thread.
- The X lasted threads are fully included into forum page (like templates).
- The Y next threads are included into a table showing some information
(title, date of last modification, last modifier, etc.)
- All is full Mediawiki compatible (same syntax, same user account, etc.).
In fact the idea aimed on create an auto?cleaning village pump (=the forum) but I think we can enhance it to provide RSS/ATOM feed and so on. I created a prototype that some wikipedians tried, but I didn't carry on the development. If someone is interest in sharing experience and go on this idea or something similar, contact me.
Didn't you already have code for it? Some weeks ago, someone posted test links for such a thing in IRC, was it you or hashar?
