RE: [Podserver-devel] Does anyone have a database with the schema (and or any PHP code to pull the details from it) yet?

Hi Tom,

Ah! I take it from that you still subscribe to the "design it completely
first" school of development. I'm more in line with Martin Fowler's
views (see http://martinfowler.com/articles/newMethodology.html for more
details if you're unfamiliar with them).

I think we do have at least the first part of what is needed. A
mechanism to generate the RSS feed, including a behind-the-scenes
database from which the information is pulled. Once we have that, we can
add the second part from your roadmap - the "upload" screens.

In my experience most people find it *extremely* difficult to visualize
what they are agreeing to unless they see a demonstration. I'm thinking
that if we get a proof-of-concept script ready people will find it
easier to see what we've missed!

Regards,
Richard

Nope, I was hoping to get some more consensus before we started.  I'd
really like to flush out all the ideas and make sure the design is up to
snuff before we start writing code.  It only gets harder to go back and
change stuff once you start with code.
