I added flags that allow you yo now turn off either the title, timestamp, or description in RSS feeds. The default is that they're all enabled.<br><br>To disable, just add one of the following flags:<br><br>notitle="Y"<br>
notimestamp="Y"<br>nodescription="Y"<br><br>Just omit the flags to enable.<br><br>Note: setting them to "N" has "unpredictable" results. Just delete the flag to enable any of them.<br>

agree with steve that we should keep it simple. Also, I think the<br>
main page is mostly used by new users, I assume most regular users<br>
never go there, so we could gear the page even more to new users then<br>
it already is.<br>
<br>
e.g. a prominent getting started button / prominent join button (not<br>
just a link buried in text), a search box in the middle somewhere,<br>
etc.<br>
<br>
might even o with a totally "non-wiki" main page (e.g. lose the side<br>
bar and the top bar) as well.<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
