Is anyone working on adding an RSS feed to the Special:Watchlist page?
Presumably, most of the code could be shared / copied from Special:Recentchanges. I might try to implement this if no one else is working on this.
I think the problem which no-one has got around to solving is how to keep the information private: currently, users cannot view each other's watchlists, and although this isn't a big deal, I believe some are unwilling to give up this privacy. Of course, the simplest answer is simply to have RSS feeds disabled by default, and warn users that by activating the feed, they are essentially "opting out" of this privacy. Otherwise, some kind of magic authentication key needs to be invented; or something.
