+canto (An ncurses RSS aggregator)
+
+Canto is an Atom/RSS feed reader for the console that is meant to be
+quick, concise, and colorful.  It is meant to allow you to crank
+through feeds like you've never cranked before by providing a
+minimal, yet information packed interface.  An interface with almost
+infinite customization and extensibility using the excellent Python
+programming language.
+
+This requires python2-chardet.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.
