  I'm using snownews, a terminal feedreader. Feeds from dokuwiki
  display properly (URL, time, title, etc.) but the content is not
  what one could expect. Exemple :

    plugin:gravatar

  when I open the item :

    Gravatar Plugin   Description   Esther Brunner1) The Gravatar
    plugin extends the DokuWiki syntax to display avatar images of
    users through Gravatar. Gravatar is a service which hosts globally
    recognized avatar images corresponding to an e-mail addre...

  with the associated link :
  
    http://wiki.splitbrain.org/plugin:gravatar?do=diff&1124878575

  This link shows the diff which is the interesting information, but
  the description of the item is not that information. What I'd expect
  is really the diff, so:

  -     >> I think parserutils.php is the right place for the
        function. Anyone with [[wiki:darcs]] could do that, I still
        can't get darcs running.
  +     >>> I think parserutils.php is the right place for the
        function. Anyone with [[wiki:darcs]] could do that, I still can't
        get darcs running.

  Note: this exemple is not very interesting as the diff seems to only
  be an ident diff :-)

  The problem is that when I see the "plugin:gravatar" item, I may
  think there is *really* something new to read. Reading the
  description of the item is not informative, I must point a browser
  to the associated link, which shows a not so very interesting change
  :-)

  BTW, the used feed is http://wiki.splitbrain.org/feed.php?type=rss2
