I'd say a month rather than a week. The feed should still be reasonable in size.

Ben, I also wanted the feed to be more terse, e.g. don't report foo,
foo_dev, foo_bar, foo_baz in separate items.  I would be willing to
look at it, if you gave me some pointers, where to get the code and
which functions/classes to look at.
