Great.  I'll get a copy of MediaWiki installed to try it then. 
Basically my plan is to query the db for a user's watchlist, so that
all the customization of one's personal feed would require is that
they manage their watchlist.

If MW stores a "last viewed" time then it should be pretty painless,
if not then it's SAL to the rescue.  :-)

Gotta sleep first tho...  The AVP project is starting to materialize
and between that and work, the days are awfully long.  Lol, and I'd
like to actually time how long it takes to implement a prototype after
MW's installed.

Curious, how long would you say it takes to setup a basic MW installation?
