Yup.  Sorry.

I've got a perl script which at this point can parse the RecentChanges
from UseMod and PhpWiki wikis.  Dave Jacoby has done this all before
me, too, and has his own version...  (If you actually want RSS feeds
from UseMod, Meatball or PhpWiki, let me know, I can put them someplace
public...)

That's what I'm thinking, too...  Note that some RSS implementations
can't deal with more than 15 entries, so that's sort of the default
value...

Okay, then we're on the same page...

Actually, I'm the one who started that page on MeatballWiki.  You're the
first one who's shown much interest in it.

Yes.  I think Steve (Wainstead) has expressed interest in this idea as 
well.
I think the idea for how to hook this into the wiki is to introduce 
"page types"
--- the type of a page determines how it gets displayed (and edited).
Straightforward, I think, but I'm not going to work on it, at this 
point.

As an alternative, maybe there's a way to extend the plugin idea so that
the plugin can read/write page (meta-)data.  Then one could implement
a weblog plugin.  Yeah, in fact, that's kind of a neat idea...
