-- Should probably add params to control various rss fields like the blog
-  title, its author email, its copyright info, etc. 
 - The [[TODO]] page would work better if the first N were shown in full, 
   and then all open items were shown in summary. Maybe add this mode.
-- Add Discussion and Edit links at the bottom of each inlined post.

+- Add Discussion and Edit links at the bottom of each inlined post.
+- It would be possible to support rss enclosures for eg, podcasts, pretty easily. 
+
+Here is the last of those items. Using the meta plugin you can give the appropriate 
+info, and the enclosure will be added to the entry. It will also add a <link /> tag
+at the top, but I don't know if this is necessary. It also includes a fix for
+when make is used without PREFIX.

+       Hmm. Not quite how I'd envisioned podcasts would work, my idea was
+       more that the sound files would be kept inside the wiki, and the
+       inline plugin could be told to eg, inline *.mp3, and would add
+       those to the rss feed as enclosures. Maybe you'd also inline some
+       regular blog pages to describe the files or the like.
+
+       Do you think that would work or that it's worth pursuing that
+       approach? I haven't looked at podcasts enough to know if that
+       method would be technically feasable; for one thing it would limit
+       the blog items for podcasts to just having an enclosure but no
+       description.
+
+       Even if that doesn't work and pages are needed to desribe the items
+       like you did, it still seems better to keep the podcast items in
+       the wiki..

+
+That's fair enough. I'm a little unsure of how it all works, so I just did the
+simplest thing I could. 
+
+You don't need a description for podcasts it seems. So there's nothing stopping
+you there. 
+
+I have another patch that I think does what you want. It only supports .mp3 files,
+.ogg or similar could be added easily. 
+
+It has the disadvantage that the filename is all there is to go on, as I can't
+think of a way to associate any information with the mp3 file. I don't 
+want to add a dependency on a IDv3 tag library. You could add another file
+.mp3.info with the title/description in. 
+
+It's obviously up to you which way you want to go.
