The "RSS" way to do this is to set up the list of pages to be
watched as a trail, and then use:

    .../wiki/Group/WatchTrail?action=rss&order=-time

This provides a feed where the most recently changed pages in the
trail appear at the top of the feed.

I'm still working on the mailposts upgrade and notify capabilities
that were discussed on the list in February and Match -- I may be
able to complete those this week.
