Can someone please explain the Feed Discussions plugin to me?

I know what it does, it makes new discussion threads based on an RSS feed url you supply, but
--Which category does it insert them into?
--Also, who's Username does it use when posting?

For example, if i made a category called NEWS, could i get all the feeds to post into that category?

i had earlier modified this plugin to put the feed into category you specify.
the discussion can be found out at http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/comment/147365#Comment_147365
but this plugin does not seem to pull feeds from the rss in latest vanilla version.
so it can still work on old version of vanilla 2.0.17

Oh, im on the latest version 2.0.18.1

I guess it wont work for me. Thats a shame, this could really help jumpstart a new forum such as mine...

yeah. i am looking into it what changes it needs and will soon post the changes to make it work - did not get time to look deep into it.
