+* Why isn't it statically-genereated, but generated dynamically by CGI? It
+  seems like it could be beneficial to have it rendered in the post-commit
+  hook, just like everything else in the wiki. 
+
+  I hope to statically generate it eventually, currently the problem is
+  that it takes at least several seconds to generate the recentchanges
+  page, and adding several seconds to every page edit is not desiriable. If
+  the time can be reduced it could be done, I'm also not adverse to
+  adding an optional way to statically render it even at the current speed.
+
+* Also, is it planned/desired that recent changes generate the same
+  information in RSS feed format? This seems like it could be a useful way
+  to keep track of the wiki as a whole. 
+
+  This is used by various interwiki type things, I think, so should be
+  done..
+
+* Lastly, would it be possible to use the recent changes code with a
+  pagespec? I understand this sort of infringes on territory covered by the
+  inline plugin, but the inline plugin only puts a page in the RSS feed
+  once, when it's created, and I imagine some people -- some deranged,
+  obsessive-compulsive people like myself -- would like to know about the
+  changes made to existing pages as well as newly-created pages.
