The list of links to RSS news aggregators/feed readers on http://rss.lockergnome.com is a great start. But I think it could be even better if it included a few more details about each program. This would save users with slow connections a lot of time exploring programs which turn out to be unsuitable for them.

Perhaps if some of the visitors to these hallowed halls each contributed the information about one or two programs, a nice person at Gnome Central could collate it and add it to the web page? I suggest we try to stick to facts and avoid opinions, otherwise we'll just end up with a flame war.

Here's a start:

Program: Amphetadesk
Cost: Free
Size of download file: 2158KB
OK with Win95? Yes
Needs .NET framework? No
Style: Displays all feeds on one web page in your web browser
OK for offline reading: Yes (automatically caches the most recent downloads)
Known problems: Trying to change the browser path in the configuration options makes my computer (Win95) reboot into MS-DOS mode

Program: Feedreader
Cost: Free
Size of download file: 1238KB
OK with Win95? Yes
Needs .NET framework? No
Style: Has its own interface, with separate panels. Each feed is only displayed when it is selected.
OK for offline reading: No
Known problems: The command buttons in the add feed option are not visible if Windows is set to use large fonts
