Maybe Duncan could apply the same script that's being used for RNEWS to the manuals? ?An RSS feed of changes to the manuals would be really useful.
My script is very NEWS specific. ?The manuals would be harder. ?You could get the diffs from svn pretty easily, but displaying them would be trickier: ?do you display the diffs in the .texi source, or convert to HTML and display the diffs there, or what? ?How much context around them? ?Not impossible, but not trivial.
Just making the source diffs easily accessible would be sufficient IMHO. For example, go to this page: http://rwiki.sciviews.org/doku.php?do=recent and click on any of the eyeglass symbols.
