In the mean time, there are plenty of other tasks that need to be done. There is a huge backlog of cleanup to do on the French VBZwiki, and there is many controversial topics involving Spanish, German, and Italian-speaking people who want their issues heard on VBZwiki. Have fun and be patient while we fix things.

RSS is a protocol used for notification of news items; in general, the protocol provides a brief summary of each item, with a link to the full story.

MediaWiki, the software used for this wiki, automatically provides both RSS and Atom (a similar protocol) feeds for the entire site. It does not yet, unfortunately, allow more selective notification, e.g. by page or category. It is my understanding that this is slated for future releases. It is my plan to upgrade as soon as that feature becomes available.
