As I have alluded to before, I have for some time been working on my own publishing system for podcasters written in Django. Recently, I have been contacted by Bradley Kuhn who has written the beginnings of a similar system (also using Django) for the SFLC podcast (which Dan produces). Since I am not very far along with my system and Bradley is looking for someone to clean up his codebase and maintain it, we have decided to merge our efforts. The project has been tentatively titled “Podjango” and Bradley has set up a bzr repository and Trac instance for us. We also created #podjango on irc.freenode.net and most development discussions will probably happen there, so join us if you are interested.

In the longrun, I am looking to replace the main part of this site with the new system, but that may be a while. First I need to brush up my Python skills and wade through this code. I’ll keep you all posted…
