Bug Description

There are handy feeds for announcements, bugs, branches, and revisions. I'd like to see a feed for a project's Answers section so I can help see when there are questions that can be answered for a project.

This feature was discussed earlier this year. We discovered that Answers is more difficult than most parts of Launchpad because it is internationalized, and because the answers a person sees is largely based on his preferred languages. This dynamic nature complicates the implementation. We decided to postpone it because there were features we certain we could deliver quicker, or because they had more need. Here is a summary of the story we want to implement.

As an launchpad user
I want to subscribe to a projects Answer feed for each of my languages
So that I can monitor the answers.

Notes:
* Each language is an RSS feed of answers for a project (can be cached)
* There is an RSS feed for all answers for a project (can be cached)
* The RSS subscription links are generated in the page head based on the user's preferred languages.
* Users do not need to be answer contacts to watch the answer traffic.
* The feed infrastructure may need i18n fixing.
* Does the feed also include new FAQs?

Changed in launchpad-registry:
importance: Undecided → Wishlist
status: New → Triaged

Until you solve these issues an "all answers" feed would help a lot. It will be probably present in the final solution anyway, so why not to implement it soon and care about language-specific feeds later? Thanks.

We are not working on answers in the near future. There is no soon. Feed will be a top priority when we work on later this year. We will certainly roll out parts of answer feeds as the come available.
