a single wiki it seems, and the title is forced to be one word,

+A few pointers and I might be able to implement this myself. -- JamesWestby

+ I don't see any problem with the title, it's the same as the title
+ of the wiki page that the rss feed comes from, which can be set
+ using the meta plugin. There are no restrictions to one word or
+ anything like that. Just made ikiwiki emit the following in a test
+ feed:
+
+ <title>billy bob&#39;s news</title>
+
+ Now, the description field currently defaults to the wiki name,
+ and that could indeed stand to be made configurable. Since the
+ current (svn) version of ikiwiki supports long, word-wrapped
+ blocks of text as parameters to [[PreProcessorDirective]]s, seems
+ to me the best way would be to simple modify inline.pm to make the
+ descripion configurable by such parameter, with a fallback to the
+ wiki name. You'll need to modify rsspage.tmpl to use whatever new
+ template variable you define, that should be all.
