I second this. I too tried subscribing to feeds --
both from my local XE installation and from playground.xwiki.org, using FeedDemon reader.
Just to clarify, the feed URL I use for getting my Watchlist from playground.xwiki.org is
"http://playground.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/WatchListRss?xpage=plain&outputSyntax=plain&basicauth=1"
Unlike Xavier, I don't even get the first set of items listed.
1. The watchlist is not a generic RSS feed with all the changes in the
wiki, but only for the documents/spaces you are watching, so it's normal
that it doesn't list anything for guests.
2. The example that you provided, the playground, is not private, the
watchlist RSS works fine for guests.
3. Some RSS clients don't send the authentication information unless the
server responds with a 401. Now, see 2, the client doesn't receive a
401, so it just reads the returned feed (the guest feed). See 1.
In a private wiki, one that would send a 401 (after the fix), the RSS
client should receive the right feed for a user. If the feed is empty,
then you're not watching any documents. You can just add the entire wiki
in your watchlist if you want to monitor everything, but for that
there's the global wiki RSS, see
