Well, if people can get memcached installed on the aur box, and it can be made a requirement for running the aur, then I would have no problem coding up a new rss class that returned rss2.0 _or_ json, based on a passed in parameter. This could wholly replace the existing rss2.php/rss.php mechanism.
I don't think requiring memcached would be a bad idea; maybe make it just decoupled enough that people could still develop locally without it being necessary (fall back to no caching at all). I already added some caching changes [1] a while back that uses APC if it is available, but it would be trivial to just migrate everything to memcached and put in a generic caching layer/API. Now let me know when you want to move the DB off of MySQL, and we'll talk. :P -Dan [1] http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=aur.git;a=commitdiff;h=5d6f465170392861c043...
