I added some links that may help for the reviewing process at the bottom of http://en.opensuse.org/Transition_guidelines
There is an rss feed for updates to reviewed pages here: http://wiki.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Special:OldReviewedPages&feed=rss&namespace=&level=&category=
but unfortunately i found none for unreviewed new pages. But we could use the standard feed for new pages in the Main namespace I think: http://wiki.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Special:NewPages&feed=rss&namespace=0
What advantages do we have from the import of these feeds into the forum?
This is our new Wiki QA concept. As you know, we use FlaggedRevs extension to flag articles as "sighted", i.e. as approved openSUSE documentation resource. Feeding the changes (i.e. new articles and major edits to existing ones) to the forums is our approach to implement a proof-reading, reviewing mechanism before new articles get a "sighted" flag. Imagine you create a new page about "foobar", you should get feedback from the community about the technical relevance, correctness, the visual presentation, the ease of explanation etc. etc. in order to provide you (the editor) an opportunity to improve your article on community feedback. We hope to come up with higher quality articles that way (four eyes recognize more than just two) and
Err, s/and/and to get rid of
the general former approach with the "sighted" flag that everyone could just jump in and provide semi-professional or in the worst case plain wrong information as openSUSE documentation. We try to achieve an overall quality improvement here just by implementing a reviewing + approval process.

For a meeting: I am 'digitltom' on freenode, hanging at least in #opensuse-project most of the day.
Thanks. I doubt we'll manage it this weekend already as we had too less time to sync all interested parties.
Best, R

PS: Remy, sorry, but monkey business seems to be needed here. Seems we should recruit at least one other Forums mod for the wiki forum.

Looking in the admin interface, it looks pretty straightforward to set up a feed; it's not a custom bot, but part of the admin functionality in vBulletin. We'd need to create a forum for the feed to feed into and the URL to the XML doc that provides the RSS feed.
We could test this in the sandbox and then reset it for a public feed view.
Actually that's exactly what I'm planning to do as soon as we thought the "hack-possibilities" to auto-merge the thread whole through. Grabbing the feed and posting doesn't seem to be an issue, providing RSS with Hermes is fine as well. Remaining and most important now is to investigate the re-opening/merging of subsequent threads related to one single article "foobar"
All,
vBulletin doc is at http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/
Best, R
