OK I'm willing to follow your lead... in fact some users did ask  
about RSS as an option.. That docs pages seems clear, but subtle  
details are missing. Looking for the easiest out-of-the-box  
implementation appears to be getting a feed from recent changes on a  
group. But, I'm having trouble build a URL that actually works in  
news aggregator.

e.g. for a group named "Migration" in this wiki, the URL you get when  
you just click "Recent Changes" from any page and then tack on  the  
RSS options looks like this:

feed://www.himalayanacademy.com/admin_wiki/index.php? 
n=Migration.RecentChanges&action=rss&order=-time

but Safari doesn't grok this URL...

The test example:    http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Category/Skins? 
action=rss&order=-time

  works fine in Safari..new news feed as expected...  so, I'm missing  
something.
