Where can I find a podcasting HOWTO?
After another day or two of searching, I stumbled upon a link to www.softwaregarden.com, which site belongs to Dan Bricklin. It turns out that Dan has written in Perl an RSS feed generator program called "ListGarden"; it appears to be as nice a feed generator as anyone could hope to find. The program is GNU GPL; it is thoroughly documented, complete with several tutorials demonstrating its use for various applications. In view of the dearth of similar GNU GPL programs, I suggest that ListGarden needs to be made a Debian package. RLH -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
