-ikiwiki's simple podcasting, while elegant and minimal, doesn't (as
-mentioned in [[todo/blogging]]) produce full-featured feeds. In
-fancy podcasts, episodes are accompanied by text content. The feeds
-also have lots more metadata.
-
-[[!toc]]
-
-## Design
-
-7. For each fancy podcast episode, write a blog post containing
-   `\[[!meta enclosure="WikiLink/to/media.mp3"]]`. (Don't specify
-   more than one enclosure -- but if you do, last one wins.)
-7. When rendering to HTML (single-page or inlined), append a link
-   to the media file.
-7. When rendering to RSS/Atom, the text is the entry's content and
-   the media file is its enclosure.
-7. Don't break simple podcasts in pursuit of fancy podcasts.

-## Implementation
+## Status
 
 [[!template id=gitbranch branch=schmonz/fancypodcast author="[[schmonz]]"]]
 [[!tag patch]]
 
-### Completed
-
-* Cover the existing simple podcast behavior with tests.
-* Add an `enclosure` field to [[plugins/meta]] that expands the
-  given [[ikiwiki/WikiLink]] to an absolute URL (feed enclosures
-  pretty much need to be, and the reference feeds I've looked at
-  all do this).
-* Write failing tests for the desired single-page and inlined
-  HTML behavior, then make them pass by adding enclosure stanzas
-  to `{,inline}page.tmpl`.
-* Write failing tests for the desired RSS/Atom behavior, then make
-  them pass via changes to `{atom,rss}item.tmpl` and [[plugins/inline]].
-* Match feature-for-feature with
-  [tru_podcast](http://www.rainskit.com/blog/542/tru_podcast-a-podcasting-plugin-for-textpattern)
-  (what [[schmonz]] will be migrating from).
-* Enrich [feed metadata](http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/rss/rss.html)
-  by catching up `rsspage.tmpl` to `atompage.tmpl`.
-* Subscribe to a fancy feed in some common podcatchers and verify
-  display details against a reference podcast.
-* Verify that the feeds validate.
+Nothing new since 2013/07/21 [[merge|done]] to `master`.
 
-### Must-have (for [[schmonz]], anyway)
+## Features
 
-* Think carefully about...
-    * UTF-8.
-    * Other templates with `CONTENT` and whether they want to learn
-      about `ENCLOSURE` (maybe `aggregatepost.tmpl`?).
-    * Whether [[tips/howto avoid flooding aggregators]] suffices for
-      migrating a fancy podcast into ikiwiki.
-* Verify that _all_ the tests pass (not just my new ones).

+* Optionally specify the enclosure's:

+    * Other people like [podcasting found media](http://huffduffer.com/about).
