Partially answering my own question... there is some
support for Sitemaps in
XWiki
http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Snippets/XmlSitemapGeneratorSnippet
The above might not even be necessary since google builds sitemaps out of
RSS fedds as well. However, they are not working with XWiki's RSS, only with
another application's "Atom" format feed.
I have three working XWiki feeds per my firefox browser:
http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/GlobalBlogRss?xpage=plain
http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/TagsRss?xpage=plain
http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebRss?xpage=plain
Yet when given to Google Webmaster
tools<https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/docs/en/about.html>ml>,
these feeds turn up errors, even though I corrected the encoding of the
files to UTF8 (see prev message):

The specific error continues to be:
- *Unsupported file format*
Your Sitemap does not appear to be in a supported format. Please ensure it
meets our Sitemap guidelines and resubmit.

Any further suggestions??
XWiki outputs RSS 1.0. Google expects RSS 2.0. There are major
differences between the two, they can be seen as two different formats,
not two versions of the same format.
Is there a way to get XWiki to output 'atom'
instead of 'RSS'? Perhaps
google will accept atom-based feeds but not RSS? The docs indicate it
handles RSS feeds.
