What does MediaWiki use for the backend?  If it's SQL (MySQL comes to
mind), and assuming that the backend is designed relatively well, an
add-on tool in perl should be relatively easy.  (How's that for a null
statement?)

In the best "clean-backend" scenario:  A basic prototype engine for
customizable feeds - from database to parser to RSS feed in 15 minutes
- or your money back*  ;-)

* Some restrictions apply, including but not limited to any of the
following: power, communications and/or any other component failure
within any required system and/or network.  :-)
