[MTOS-dev] [ProNet] Podcasting

[Byrne Reese]

> * Update Byrne's plugin to recognise non-audio media types (video,

We could maintain this as a config directive so that people could modify the
list of mimetypes recognized as podcasts.

> * Provide feed templates that more closely follow the iTunes

> metadata used by iTunes.

Here is an excerpt from an example they provide. These elements should be
added to the head of the feed:

* itunes:subtitle
* itunes:author
* itunes:summary
* itunes:description
* itunes:owner (name and email as subelements)
* itunes:image
* itunes:category*

These elements should be added to each item:

* itunes:author
* itunes:subtitle
* itunes:summary
* itunes:duration
* itunes:keywords

> * Consider building an admin plugin for that part of the process;

Hopefully the podcasting plugin I started can serve this purpose. Users
should not have to download and install two different pieces of software,
should they?
