-- Add a small form at top and bottom of a blog to allow entering
-  a title for a new item, that goes to a template to create the new page.
-- 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.
\ No newline at end of file
+  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.
+- 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.

+
+	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. ;-)

+
+Yes I agree that this would be great, but rss2 spec says that enclosure
+must have mime-type. How about I use the File::MimeInfo trick from the 
+first patch to do this? I don't know why I didn't do this before.
+This will probably clean the code up a little as well. 
+
+What do you think of the change that when using raw, if the filetype is not
+known it adds an entry anyway? I did this so that the entries appear if
+this mode is used. It might be that this is not necessary, as can we assume
+that people wont use raw if they want to pod/vid/whatevercast?
