OSM has quite a few good quality assurance tools; some of which even provide RSS-feeds. That’s great, but sometimes the feeds are hard to find or may even require some manual bounding-box-hacking. :(
To solve this I created osm-qa-feeds, which allows to create personalized regional feeds for the various quality assurance tools out there. Here are the few simple steps of how to use it:
Step 1: Search your region
Step 2: Adjust the bounding box
Step 3: Done. You can now use one or more of the personalized feeds in your favourite feed-reader.
PS: If you know another QA tool that provides feeds and that should be added to the list: Head over to the source code on github (pull requests are welcome) or leave a comment here.

Thanks! I didn’t know about ITO’s OSM Mapper. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to automatically create the feed URL for it, though (because one has to sign up for an account first)… I’ve added it anyhow.

I like it too :) You should mention it on the talk mailinglist.
Other QA tools include http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/ and http://osmose.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/ , but I can’t find an RSS feed for them (osmose has an user-based feed, but apparently no bbox-based one).

Handy! Can imagine this being straightforward to integrate into osm.org too.

Added on the RSS wiki page. Maybe we should mention it on the QA wiki page too?

Not bad, should be integrated into the official webfrontend!
