The likelihood of the LibriVox date issue being fixed looks slim, considering this post was over 2 years ago:

Anyone have a tech contact at LibriVox? I'd love to get them to fix their RSS date issue:

The aggregator now handles feeds where the items have no <guid>. I'm using Apple's spec where they fall back to using the enclosure url if one exists.

The Librivox feeds also don't have a valid <pubDate> element, so right now they're showing up like this:

...since they are zero's in the database. Anyone got a better suggestion on how to handle? This is undefined behavior so there's not a great answer really.

@martin @mitch @podcastguru It'd be great to have deep link support so that I can share a link straight to an episode and have it open in PF or PV or PG.

Show time! 🎉🎸🎙

The only reason Python gives me pause is that so many Windows machines see compiled Python exe’s as a security threat, with good reason.

Go seems obvious, but we don’t need massive parallelism for this. Just, need a handful running at any one time.

Rust’s async/await is still fairly new if I understand what I’ve read correctly.

I should probably just choose Go and move on, but thought I’d throw it out here and see if anyone has input. I’m sure some of you will want to do work on it too.

I’ve been paralyzed trying to figure out the best language to use to write the distributed aggregator agent in. It needs to be something that can compile to native code on each platform (Mac, windows, Linux), has good concurrency primitives and isn’t obscure so lots of people can contribute. I think it needs to be in either Python, Rust or Golang.

@jamescridland @chidgey Is the Strike.me app available in Australia?

Azure is having problems (again). FYI, if anyone else is seeing cloud issues with line of business apps.

@benjaminbellamy Where is the full doc for the <podcast:recommendations> tag?

Namespace: I think we're good to go. Got <podcast:trailer> up. Will fill out some more today.

https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace#phase-3-open---closes-6121

I'm working on the namespace repo to get ready to return to work on Phase 3. I'm thinking that I'll move all the tags off the README except the ones we know we're working on, and instead just link to the isssues list filtered by the proposal tag.

That work for everyone?

I have no idea what any of this means:
