Thank you for the update, Bdale.  If anything the lack of frequent 
updates contributes to image of nothing happening even though something 
is.  I look forward to Mr. Vasile's hopefully upcoming notes to better 
set out what is happening.

I've been waffling for about a week asking for a general status update 
for the project.  We've got some of that out there now on-list.  A more 
regular, routine mechanism for releasing updates may need to be created 
before long.

With that being said, I need to polish up my notes on using gpodder as 
well as gpodder.net to provide for automated unattended podcast 
downloading on headless boxes like the SheevaPlug.  I've got it 
implemented at home and just need to clean up for general use my notes 
on how to implement it.  Hopefully I can get that down and posted later 
this week.
