[OGDev] Refactoring CGI::Wiki::Plugin::RSS::ModWiki and OpenGuides::Feed

Hi All

I've been looking through the codebase, seeing if it's possible to enable 
rss feeds for more things. I think it is going to be possible, but it's 
going to require refactoring of both CGI::Wiki::Plugin::RSS::ModWiki and 
OpenGuides::Feed to support it.

Currently, it's just possible to get feeds of the recent changes list 
(with filtering by username, and changing the number shown, but that's 
about it).

I'd like to extend the rss support so that we can have recent changes 
style RSS feeds of:
* recent changes (as now)
* all the versions of a node
* search results
And then something similar for locales and categories.


However, Earle is also planning some refactoring to this code. I believe 
he's planning to add Atom support (Earle - can you confirm).

Before I just go ahead and co-ordinate my changes with Earle, I thought I 
should check:
* Is anyone else also planning refactoring of these modules?
* Does anyone have thoughts / suggestions on my plans?

Cheers
Nick
