The RecentChanges page has an RSS feed button on it.  (Also an "Atom" button 
that has the same icon as the RSS feed, but I'm not familiar with that.)  But, 
that will notify you every time a new user account is created, etc.

But beyond that, the idea of a Wiki isn't something you look at every so often 
to see if anything changed.  You go there to look for something specific, when 
you need to find it.  If there are particular pages you really do want to be 
notified about when changed, you can "watch" that article.

Hmm.  Writing this has given me the idea that we should have a "Topics 
Needed/Wanted" page, and people who are interested in contributing can watch 
that page to be notified when a new topic is added or removed.  That would be 
better than using the main page, once we start to get a significant amount of 
content there.
