+Konqsidebarnews is based on the rss DCOP service in
+kdenetwork/dcoprss. So you most likely you want to
+install it before using the sidebar applet.
+
+
+
+TODO
+====
+
+- better handling of starting up rssservice
+
+- less crashes (check for stupid user input, etc...)
+
+- cleanly recover from a crashing dcop service
+
+- documentation
+
+- accessibility aware UI
+
+- integration with kdenetwork/knewsticker
+
+
+
+THANKS TO
+=========
+
+- Joseph Wenningen (jowenn@kde.org)
+  idea and original code
+
+- Frerich Raabe (raabe@kde.org)
+  for kdenonbeta/librss where all the magic happens
+
+- Ian Reinhard Geiser (geiseri@kde.org)
+  for maintaining the DCOP service
