We have a couple of examples of how other people have approached this  at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Syndication#Externally_hosted_RSS_feeds_of_Wikipedia_pages

And we might even be able to shape up this extension
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Rss to get this work done. It's a little
confusing to know if this extension is used as a reader or generator

For the initial spec we should include something like this

<channel>
<title>Wikipedia Featured Articles</title>
<link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Today%%27s_featured_article</link>
<description>RSS feed of Wikipedia Featured Articles, generated by

Whatever implementation we choose it should be generic so that we can later add
feeds like image of the day. This feed should also be usable on any
wiki/project
