Hello,
Has anyone thought of setting up a RSS feed for Wikipedia? I know that there was one back in the early days but there doesn't seem to be one now... (and from memory the old one wasn't an official feed).
How much work would be involved in setting up a feed with some daily selected articles and a random topic?

Very nice! Are these updated automatically? If so is the script available?

Yes. Every 5 minutes for English, every 30 minutes for other languages if I recall. It should also be possible to run the script live... http://blahblah/w/FeedRDF.php

In CVS, under rdf/ directory. It should be called FeedRDF.php, but for some reason Lee renamed it to recent.phtml and hid it in a new directory.
