    While OSQA presently supports some top-level RSS feeds, it would be best if it supported more varieties of more specific feeds like these:

    A specific user's questions and answers
    Questions and answers about a specific tag or tag set
    Answers and comments on a specific question
    Questions and answers that reach certain levels of activity

I'd also like to stress the fact that RSS is an extrememly valuable feature of Stack Exchange sites. We use RSS on our SE sites to post questions on Linked-In, Facebook, and Twitter... which all help drive new traffic to the sites. Furthermore, the ability to have "advanced" RSS feeds such as user feeds also help in viral marketing as users are much more likely to tweet and post questions that THEY have contrubuted to rather than blindly re-tweeting every question posted on the site. In short, RSS is an EXTREMELY valuable feature and should be considered a major improvement.

Feedback from a user on my site: "I'd love to see new questions by RSS, as I can with Stack Overflow."

There are a bunch of them now. Namely, every particular question list contains the correspondent feed. More to come.

I believe that there are enough rss feeds for now (I'm not including other future plans). Closing for now.
