Yep -- being able to generate RSS is one of the prerequisites to me moving the dev blog, along with several enhancements to the conversation system. (In particular, moderation.)
Indeed, RSS is going to be one piece of a *major* Querki enhancement called "What's New", probably coming late this year. This will be a mix-in App that allows you to turn *any* Model into an RSS source. The blog use case is the simple one. Much more interesting is, for example, my Recipe Space -- it'll be able to easily generate an RSS feed of new Recipes.
Originally I thought What's New was just RSS, but it turns out to be much bigger than that -- it's basically the same module that will drive, eg, posting to FB, G+, Twitter and other sinks. Basically, it'll be a general notion of "this Model is a source of 'news'", and you can configure where it gets published to. I believe it's going to be crazy-powerful.
And wow, talk about coincidence -- as I previewed this comment, LJ just kicked me over to a new UI. We'll see what *that* is like...
