Gallery2 RSS Generator - Should I make one?

Hello,
I am considering making an RSS generator for Gallery2. This would *not* be a module, but more of a stand alone script that would generate an RSS file from values extracted from the MySQL database. I could do this with a few days work, but I would like to know if it would be worth it. Things I am considering:

1. I want this functionality, and from what I have read so do many other people.
2. There is no working RSS functionality at the moment, all modules and scripts that are supposed to work appear broken
3. There is a new version (2.1) due out this month that is rumored to have RSS support. If I start working on my project will it become obsolete when Gallery2 2.1 comes out
4. How many people would use it if I created it. This is the most important thing.

I currently have 3 options the way I see it: Slop together something for myself to use, Make a real project out of this so other people can use it (given enough support), or just don't do it. I'd like to go with option 2, which is the main purpose of this post.

Also, any suggestions for the features? The first version would just be something where it would generate the RSS feed for a given album (get_rss.php?album_name). I can see adding a toggle to add recursive pictures (include all sub-albums), outputting a random picture to the rss instead of all of the pictures, and basic paramters such as how many pictures to output, etc. I would probably also want to include a link to the thumbnail as well.

Let me know! Hopefully I can work on this tomorrow, but realistically I couldn't put a lot of effort into it until next week.
