I have taken a look at this, and the extension appears to not be working.  I'm not sure if this is an incompatibility bug with MediaWiki 1.19 or why the extension is not parsing the feed properly, and is treating the code as plain text.

I am transferring to Janardhan who will have more time to look into this issue.

The extension works with 1.19. The reason why I know this for sure? I'm using it on www.hortipendium.de (several boxes on the start page use it) which also is a MediaWiki 1.19 ;-)

Assuming I understand you correctly - that's sounds like the typical result of having a "<?" instead of "<?php" somewhere. Older PHP versions allowed this by default, newer don't (option short_open_tags in php.ini) - and IIRC the wiki servers were updated to a newer SLE version/SP shortly before the wiki update...

BTW: I could probably help better with direct access to the staging server (or a test server showing the problem) - with "direct access" I mean a non-root SSH login with the ability to edit all wiki files and to read to the apache error log. If you can create such an account for me, I'll happily send you my SSH pubkey ;-)

This was fixed log ago. Note that nowadays you'll need to use the <rss> tag instead.
