We used to have an rss feed for every article in the original
wikipedia. It was used for the main
Bomis.com search engine, so we
could import enough data to index wikipedia. We have been using an
outdated .rss file ever since the conversion to the new software...

You should offer an RSS-Feed!
I had no idea what this was, but it sounded interesting. So I surfed a
bit around and found this German description:
http://derschockwellenreiter.editthispage.com/rss.html
with some links, most of them in English:
http://www.schockwellenreiter.de/directory/techZeuch/rss/index.html
Here's a nice English article which introduces to the concept:
http://www.bayarea.com/mld/mercurynews/business/technology/personal_tech
nology/4203205.htm
I think this is a great idea! We could offer a RecentChanges-Feed, a
NewArticle-Feed, a ArticleNowBiggerThen1500Chars-Feed or whatever. It's
just two hours ago that I read about this thing for the first time, so
I'm still thinking about it ... :-)
What do you think? Is this doable?
Kurt
