-- Still not completly comfortable with ikiwiki only knowing when a page was
- posted based on the on-disk mtime the first time it sees the page. svn doesn't
- preserve mtimes and also if the index gets broken it will see new mtimes for any
- pages that were actually modified in the interim. I suppose that info could
- be pulled out of svn log by a utility that was run if the index or mtimes
- got screwed up.

+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.

+ Hmm, this could be taken a step further, and assume that if
+ IkiWiki::pagetype doesn't return a defined page type for the page
+ in the blog, then no matter the extension it should be fed into the
+ rss feed in an enclosure. This would allow for not only podcasting,
+ but vidcasting and a form of photo blogging. Or even an rss feed
+ containing the source of ikiwiki. ;-)
