Benjamin Pasero discusses RSSOwl 2.0
I just posted a new podcast. In this podcast, Benjamin Pasero, technical lead on the RSSOwl 1.0 project and self-described “significant contributor” to the RSSOwl 2.0 project discusses—among other things—the decision to adopt Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) as a basis for the new version.
This was recorded at the Open Source Pavilion at EclipseCon 2007.
You can find the podcast on the Eclipse Resources page, or click here for a direct link. The Eclipse Resources page contains numerous links to include podcasts in your favourite reader (just scroll down, it’s on the right side).

just a quick note: for those itunes users among us, it would be nice if the podcast.rss would be updated as well

hm…well the podcasts.rss seems to be updated, but it isn’t listed in itunes. maybe there is something incompatible about the entry?

iTunes looks for the enclosure-element to identify podcasts (or attachments in general). See http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss#ltenclosuregtSubelementOfLtitemgt

The podcast.rss is generated directly from our database, so it should be as up-to-date as our resources page.
The problem in this case was a bit of invalid XML in the description. I’ve fixed the problem and have tested it in iTunes.
