I guess than writing a plugin is the easiest solution to achieve what you want to do. Having your own wiki syntax may be the most complex piece of work, especially if you want the "edition" page to appear as a regular wiki page.
I use a "News" macro (http://anciens.enib.fr) to provide some news. News are stored in the same DB than Trac's, but the edition is done from an external tool. It does not provide RSS feed items up to now. I think there was a poll on Trac-Hacks about the creation of a Blog plugin for Trac. I don't know if someone has started to work on it. (?)
