 ;; Overview
 ;; --------
 
-;; Newsticker provides a newsticker for Emacs. A newsticker is a thing that
-;; asynchronously retrieves headlines from a list of news sites, prepares
-;; these headlines for reading, and allows for loading the corresponding
-;; articles in a web browser.
-
-;; Headlines consist of a title and (possibly) a small description. They
-;; are contained in RSS (RDF Site Summary) files. Newsticker should work
-;; with all RSS files that follow the RDF Rich Site Summary 1.0
-;; specification. It should also work with version 2.0 as well as
-;; other/older/alternative RSS formats (like 0.9<something> or such). In
-;; other words: Newsticker is a "RSS reader" or "RSS aggregator".
