+There could be a better way of setting the title and description of the rss feeds. Perhaps
+through the meta plugin, or extra options to the inline plugin.
+
+At the moment The description is the same for all feeds from
+a single wiki it seems, and the title is forced to be one word,
+though I don't think it needs to be.
+
+A few pointers and I might be able to implement this myself. -- JamesWestby

+Apologies for the title thing. I tried it yesterday, and it onlt used the first word.
+I must have done something wrong. I'll have a look at implementing the description.
+Thanks. -- JamesWestby
