No I haven't.

I chose UseMod about two and a half years ago for the FreeRIDE wiki because
all of the Ruby-based wikis at that time were missing one essential feature:
tracking page revisions (with the ability to rollback to a previous
version). Since FreeRIDE was the first RubyForge project, all RubyForge
project wikis since then have just been UseMod, by default.

RubyForge is using an old version of UseMod, and if I was starting today I
would add one new basic requirement: ability to generate an RSS newsfeed.

Does Ruwiki do page versioning and RSS?
