Add RSS with all data dump items
Open, MediumPublicFeature

Description

RSS with containing all downloadable items would be very handy. I suppose it would contain each downloadable item only once and once file updated the item would move to the top as the most recent or so...

Hmm, might be handy. More important is just making the feeds discoverable -- currently there's no visible links to them!

A nice plus for the data dump generation...

Currently we provide individual rss links for

dewiki-latest-abstract.xml-rss.xml
dewiki-latest-all-titles-in-ns0.gz-rss.xml
dewiki-latest-category.sql.gz-rss.xml
dewiki-latest-categorylinks.sql.gz-rss.xml
dewiki-latest-externallinks.sql.gz-rss.xml
dewiki-latest-image.sql.gz-rss.xml
dewiki-latest-imagelinks.sql.gz-rss.xml
dewiki-latest-interwiki.sql.gz-rss.xml
dewiki-latest-langlinks.sql.gz-rss.xml
dewiki-latest-oldimage.sql.gz-rss.xml
dewiki-latest-page.sql.gz-rss.xml
dewiki-latest-page_props.sql.gz-rss.xml
dewiki-latest-page_restrictions.sql.gz-rss.xml
dewiki-latest-pagelinks.sql.gz-rss.xml
dewiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2-rss.xml
dewiki-latest-pages-logging.xml.gz-rss.xml
dewiki-latest-pages-meta-current.xml.bz2-rss.xml
dewiki-latest-protected_titles.sql.gz-rss.xml
dewiki-latest-redirect.sql.gz-rss.xml
dewiki-latest-site_stats.sql.gz-rss.xml
dewiki-latest-stub-articles.xml.gz-rss.xml
dewiki-latest-stub-meta-current.xml.gz-rss.xml
dewiki-latest-stub-meta-history.xml.gz-rss.xml
dewiki-latest-templatelinks.sql.gz-rss.xml
dewiki-latest-user_groups.sql.gz-rss.xml

Which should account for all of our data dumps.

In terms of other content, we could add rss links for the latest rev of mediawiki itself.

Which other bits of data are you thinking of providing feeds for?

Which other things need to be present in an rss feed other than the files themselves?
