Any page that generates a list has an RSS option. For example, if you go to Recent Changes, you will see an RRS Atom option show up in the "toolbox" panel on the left. This will also show up if you go to any article or discussion history. These are all built into the original software and ready for use. The [http://twitter.com/thewikifire Wiki Fire Twitter] account just pulls from an RSS of new articles. But you can get RSSes of all kinds.

Okay, so the wiki fire runs a version of mediawiki that was state-of-the-art in 2007. There have been several updates since then (one major one). I am not sure if the design of the main page will transfer to the new version. If it does not, is anyone interested in helping to create a new opening page once we update? Or should we just leave the old software running and forget about it? Thoughts? [[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 22:46, 18 January 2011 (CST)
