Podcasts - Support People / Groups

[danieljsummers]

The podcast:person element allows name, role, group, image, and URL to be assigned to each person known to a podcast. It can be attached at the channel or item level. The podcast:valueRecipient element can be a person or a service and has several attributes; these will likely be the same for people across a podcast, but may need to vary for each episode.

For this issue, create the following (all at the web log level):

• The ability to manage known persons, including the podcast:person attributes, as well as default customKey, customValue, type, and address values for this person. The person's name is the only required value.
• For each podcast feed, allow the channel-level person list to be selected, optionally overriding the role and group attributes. (A future issue will add default value recipients.)
• For each episode, copy the podcast-level defaults to the episode. Provide the ability to add persons at the episode level, as well as changing the default persons' role or group for that episode. (A future issue will do the same for value recipients.)
• Modify the feed generation logic to produce the podcast:person entries.
