RSS inside the firewall

I'd love to start doing this today...

Why don’t we go one step further and require everyone in an organisation to publish their information as RSS feeds inside the firewall.

- via Anecdote

Do any of you know of any applications that will monitor my file system and publish a changelog of what's new and updated via RSS? It would be a great step towards excellent transparency in the workgroup and across the organization. If it exists on OS X, I'll start using it tomorrow. LMK.

If it doesn't exist, here's what I'd like it to do...

1. Monitor specific directories for new and updated files.
2. Announce metadata about those new and updated files across the local area network.

- idea: use Bonjour, RSS and a local webserver to tie it all together.

3. Make it really easy to turn on and off so I don't get stuck at a conference with my RSS hanging out :-)

- idea: toggle sharing on and off every time my Macbook connects and disconnects from a network and explicitly request user permission to reshare on a reconnect?

4. Make it really easy for people sharing feeds to find other feeds on the LAN. Some sort of a resource browser that allowed users to subscribe to other users feeds would be mandatory.

Features like security, user permissions, etc. are wayy overkill. It would have to be brain dead simple, and mostly transparent to the individual doing the sharing. This doesn't work if the user needs to explicitly share individual files each time they are updated. Stuff like this exists already (Groove for instance) and hasn't taken off like crazy. It would also be helpful if I could share a different RSS feed for each directory I was sharing and then maybe a megafeed consisting of the aggregate of all of my folder feeds. But I bet that this feature could wait until version 2.0 :)
