I'd like to hack SpecialRecentChanges so that one could retrieve per page RecentChange RSS/Atom feeds or alternatively hack PageHistory to offer RSS/Atom feeds.
Can anyone direct me as to which approach might be more useful for mediawiki user's in general?
If I could get such a feed, and augment it slightly to show the save page "Summary" comment as part of the title for each feed item, then i think i could use mediawiki to host a blog with a nice rss-feed.
hacking SpecialRecentChanges seems the easier approach but thought i'd check first if one of the two was preferred.
thanks,
jr

If you work from Recentchanges, you'll only be able to include whatever changes are listed in the recentchanges table. This only covers the last few days' worth of edits generally, so if you're trying to watch a less active page it may just disappear off the feed.
I think PageHistory is definitely the place you want to be.
