 a single wiki it seems, and the title is forced to be one word, 
 though I don't think it needs to be.

+       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.
