I appreciate someone does something, but this should have been more discussed. I would like to highlight that our goal should NOT be to do this a way that is most simple for developers of mediawiki to implement and most simple for devops to maintain and setup. Our goal should be to make this feed most simple to implement into target application (bot, tool) for the developers of that tool. The ideal feed should be pretty simple to be parseable by something as trivial as a shell script with netcat or telnet on remote server (absolutely no need to use some 3rd party libraries). I am fine with using JSON as one option, but if it's the only option this new feed is supposed to provide, it will be very hard to implement in some tools. Basically anything what will require some extra libraries will make it harder than it actually is - despite it could be more flexible and faster.
I agree with the discussion, but I think this is a good starting point.
You can expect some patches from me soon. ;)
