I do not think that the original creator of a wiki page is
interesting for viewers in the RecentChanges view,
especially if the page is very old. IMHO we should add
editor information to the RSS output for 1.3.2

Hmm, I would think the creator line you gave should always
be called if the recent changes feed has the ddiffs=1 query
parameter. In this case each item in the feed represents a
wiki page revision. The author/creator of the item clearly
is the person who made edits to the page If ddiffs=1 is not
present then yes, it doesn't make sense to include the
creator line (unless perhaps the initial creator is
available) as each item in the feed represents a wiki page.

Cool. Thanks anyway.

adding the line:
  handler.simpleNode(('dc', 'creator'), edname)
after
  handler.endNode(('dc', 'contributor'))
in 
  $SITE_PACKAGES/MoinMoin/action/rss_rc.py
does the job.

However, Nick Bradbury, the author of FeedDemon states here
(http://www.bradsoft.com/forums/shwmessage.aspx?forumid=22&messageid=5650#bm5658),
"Although dc:contributor is a valid Dublin Core element, my
understanding is that it denotes someone other than the
author who contributed to the item. The author should be
specified using the dc:creator element."

Do we have the information about the initial author of a
page in MoinMoin? But I agree with you, that having the last
editor as "author" is still better than having no author at all.
