Description

(Upstreaming from testing by Wikimedia community in http://fab.wmflabs.org/T126 )

I don't see RSS/Atom feeds anywhere to follow activity.

Also wondering if RSS feeds for saved task searches are technically a separate request ( http://fab.wmflabs.org/T153 )

aklapper raised the priority of this task from to Needs Triage.

aklapper updated the task description. (Show Details)

aklapper added a project: Maniphest.

aklapper added a subscriber: aklapper.

I'm going to merge this into T1928, summary is:

As a technology, RSS seems to be on the way out.
Based on talking with people who implemented RSS at Facebook, I'm worried this will take a lot of time to build/support (i.e., there will be a long tail of users complaining that their specific obscure RSS reader doesn't work).
Authentication is not trivial.
Overall, this is hard to prioritize because there's limited interest in it, the technology seems to be declining, and the implementation cost is unknown but possibly large.

✘ Merged into T1928.
