Our user-requested feature is an RSS feed of annotations/actions made to
the user's delegated tasks (not an RSS feed of the *tasks* but an RSS
feed of the *actions).  For instance we have a couple of central people
who dispatch ["delegate" in OGo & Groupware speak, in the USA's
rust-belt people say "dispatch"] to users at remote locations;  they
want to see a feed of actions performed on those tasks (the tasks from
the delegated-tasks list).  So when a remote user accepts, completes, or
makes a comment it will appear on their feed reader.   E-Mail
notifications for every action very rapidly becomes a pelting-my-INBOX
kind of scenario.

I'm making pretty good progress on that; the hard part I think is
figuring out why ThunderBird won't show any of ZideStore's RSS feeds.
At least on my version-of-TB / build-of-OGo it just silently fails.

The current tasks RSS feeds aren't terribly useful as they represent
data that is essentially quite static and thus not very news-feed-ish.

Would be very useful.

Enh: single feed containing all documents changes of a project

Yep.   I'm on vacation stating today. :)

In my free-time I'm going to take a crack at adding calendar-multiget
support to ZideStore as I think that will make current versions of
Sunbird work [again].  I'll probably fail.
