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. --[[Joey]]


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.. --[[Joey]]


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.
