+Liferea is an aggregator for online news feeds. There are many
+other news readers available, but these others are not available
+for Linux or require many extra libraries to be installed.
+Liferea tries to fill this gap by creating a fast, easy to use,
+easy to install news aggregator for GTK/GNOME.
+
+Though it is intended for the GNOME desktop it integrates fine with
+other environments. It supports a number of different feed formats
+including RSS/RDF, CDF and Atom, allows direct subscriptions from
+Firefox 1.5.x (with FeedBag), Firefox 2.0.x and Epiphany.
+
+Liferea depends on libxml2, ORBit2, GConf2, libxslt and either
+libgtkembedmoz, libxul or gtkhtml2 libraries (all of those should be
+either part of the distribution or available from slackbuilds.org) \ No newline at end of file
