Hi all,
I would like to ask some help to do one thing and brainstorm a little about some tools for crowdsourcing wikimedians ideas.
1) My first question is if someone could help me to create a RSS feed of threads of the Portuguese Wikipedia village pump (= /esplanada/). The feed would contain the title and link to the thread, the thread body and the author. Our /esplanada/ has one subpage per thread, which makes easy to watch what I want. See bellow
http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Esplanada/geral
But I miss sometimes topics being created only using my watchlist and a RSS feed would facilitate my life to read and follow all threads I am interested in using an aggregator or even making the feed send each thread by e-mail. Once I created a RSS feed using a Web service that found HTML patterns, so I think that could be done in a similar way (I cannot remember the service name now). Would be easy to create a Python script for that? (maybe with beautifulSoup?) Any other method suggestion?
2) Not only for reading purposes, I also would like to add this threads and possible ideas inside the discussion on systems like All our ideas http://www.allourideas.org/, OSQA http://osqa.net (see this example http://ideas.okfn.org/) or possible other softwares to evaluate the best ideas and threads using a crowdsourcing model - other ideas for tools welcome.
Any help for 1 and any idea for 2 is welcome. Thanks,
Tom

If you don’t want to implement your own software to generate the RSS feed, I guess you could use something like http://pt.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Especial%3AP%C3%A1ginas_novas&... if you would create an “abuse filter” marking all new subpages of the village pump with a special tag, you could even filter this using the new tag, and be practically done with it (it might not be exactly the format you requested, but the data is there).

Thanks for your suggestion. I didn't know it was possible to do in this way. If I understood well, abuse filter needs admin rights. I tried to analyse some filters, but I must confess a script version can be more elegant. :)
My brother has just shown me a first version of a notebook using IPython Notebook [1]

I hope soon we can improve it and later use tools for the community evaluate the threads quality (/a la/ reddit, slashdot etc.) and make some data analysis later.
Best,
Tom
