Sorry for the delays in replying, i've had little internet access for a while.

@stobbsc: There is no google reader support. Google doesn't have an official API (and I don't use google reader)

@tnhh: The latest version in extras-devel should only update the timestamp when new articles are pulled.
There is also an issue with removing old titles, so they might still show in the listing, but the actual data (images, html) should be removed. 200MB might be too unusual if you have lots of feeds with images. If you'd like it to be looked more closely, feel free to send me by private message a listing of file sizes and dates.

@jer006: 1) that's the issue mentioned with titles, that are not being deleted. I should have a fix in the next couple of days.
2) That's handled by the OS/UI, so not too much I can do about it. I don't really like long click, they feel quite unnatural.
3) I could make it look more responsive by faking it, but right now, the update button is actually waiting to make sure the update is started before changing its icon. It's just slow to start a python process in general.
4) I'd like to, but haven't found how to make it transparent yet.
5) It's possible, and I'm interested in having the bar show up, but it's not technically straightforward, it'd actually require quite a few changes which I probably won't take the time to do for a bit.

@Rmark & Crugath: libxslt is part of the main Nokia repository if I remember correctly. Make sure it is enabled, and refreshed in the Application Manager. It's possible it was unavailable for a while.
