I saw we’re providing more than one version for download in the RSS feed for the site. This is cool, but AFAIK I’ve never seen a feedcatcher that can efficiently handle more than one enclosure per item (it usually just grabs the first one available).
So, random thoughts based on this/making things easier all around:
- Since we’re already making multiple scaled versions available anyway, is it possible for the Flash player to have a “download” link embedded somewhere within it so people can get some take-out?
- We might do this and it’s not apparent, but is it possible to offer multiple feeds of different qualities in order to give people options? Some people might not want to download a gig and a quarter when a new WordCamp talk comes out. The HD feed would have to include the highest-possible conversion (sometimes HD isn’t available), and then a DVD-quality feed and a smaller feed (iPhone-sized?)
I’ll add to this list if I brainstorm anything additional today.

Thanks for the thoughts on this – they’re both areas on the agenda (as is getting a decent iTunes presence set up). Hailin’s probably more aware of the logistics and timeframes of the player integration – I think there are a few other things in the works first. +1 for the multi-feed. We spoke at one point about having an iPod/iPhone friendly type thing, too – which would be nice.
