Proposed behaviour
Remove author and add Event Start Date and Time.
Comments
Currently the default display of the RSS Feed doesn't include the start date of the event which makes it rather pointless as a RSS feed into external websites. I am sure this used to be there but it was rather a long time ago! It has the field of author which I don't feel is a useful field at the expense of start date at least.
