Hi Michael
I understand your request, but I am not quite sure about your
proposal.
They way I use the name and description fields is to assign a short
name for the project (typically come kind of code, or a very, very
short name) and the description, on the other hand, is more lengthy
and... descriptive ;)
I think your problem really is the abilities provided by your RSS
reader... For example, I like the RSSOwl reader (www.rssowl.org) which
allows me to collect several timelines and present them all in one
view/table, in which I can see the name of the projects along with the
entries which gives me a very feasible overview of several projects at
the same time (the field "Location" in RSSOwl represents the project
name).
Nevertheless, replacing the description the description of the project
is not the optimal solution, I think, because how would you distinguis
a Timeline feed from other feed types (browser, ticket etc)?
I therefore suggest the following instead (if we're going to change
this at all):
> <title>${project.name}</title>
> <link>${abs_href.timeline()}</link>
> - <description>Trac Timeline </description>
>+ <description>Trac Timeline ${project.name}</description>
Best regards,
Mikael Relbe
