Building (realtime, hehe) rss feed which contains all recent commits to darcs.net 
repo would be nice.

Eric could set this up easily by adding an apply post-hook which runs a
command similar to this:
darcs changes --xml --last 10 | xsltproc rss.xslt -

where rss.xslt is found here:
http://darcs.net/tools/cgi/xslt/rss.xslt

The part I'm not sure about, because I don't use rss, is whether he wants to
use --last or not, and what number to pass to last if it's used.  I can't
remember if we pass the number of patches applied in an environment variable
or not.  Also, if you use last, then the rss feed will appear to reset, I
suspect.  Probably best to not to use last.  Again, I'm not an rss user so I
don't know how it should be configured, but all the machinery is available I
think.  Modulo fine tuning, this feature should be really easy to add.

Simon Michael's installation of darcsweb on the darcs repository has something
like this: http://joyful.com/darcsweb/darcsweb.cgi?r=darcs-stable;a=summary

I'm afraid I don't have any spare cycles to look into something like this.  So
I'm marking this wont-fix unless somebody wants to be extra-eager.

Yes, the feed from my mirror, courtesy of darcsweb, is

http://joyful.com/darcsweb/darcsweb.cgi?r=darcs-stable;a=atom

or =rss. This will be current since the mirror updates every minute.

Better if all this was on darcs.net directly, that would be the next  
wishlist item.
