podcastingAt last weeks Arena Developer Roundtable, I gave a live demo and announced the impending beta release of the Podcast Module I’ve been working on off-and-on** over the summer.

As of today this new Podcast Module is available to other Arena Developers on the Community site.  At CCCEV, we'll be starting to use this instead of an old podcast module I created for our legacy ASP.NET PSK portal.  This will be an important step in allowing us to migrate off of our old portal system.  This new module also supports external feed publishers (such as Google's Feedburner) which make tracking and subscribing easier.

** Note: Lately I have not been doing as much development as I’d like – there’s been just too much other integration and deployment going on -- so in order to just ‘get it done’ I scaled back some of the features I had originally planned for this module.  Those features were just candy for us anyhow so it did not hurt us not to have them.  Anyone who wants to help contribute to the further development of that Module will have the opportunity to do so in the Arena Community.
