Hi all,

Yes, I've put hobix on rails.  It's at www.podOmatic.com.

Okay, I wound up not using quite a bit of hobix, as the site's geared
toward novice users, and they don't much care about trackbacks or
RedCloth.

So what did make it in?  Pretty much, just the weblog base class and
the YAML stuff. I do intend to improve on that.

The site is built around the idea of podcasting.  We provide anyone
with their own podcast blog and all the associated bits and pieces
like search, folksonomy, recommendations, and an online media library.
Hobix is flexible enough that it wasn't a big stretch to add an
email-like facility for sharing audio files. You can record new audio
directly through the browser using a flash applicaation, and there are
some flash tools on the site that allow you to create multi-part
recordings (think intro and outro).

I hacked the rss plugin (and the Entry class) to allow enclosures, and
replaced the Storage fu with a distributed filesystem-based storage
layer.

So if you get a podmail from someone, or you see a link to someone's
podcast on podOmatic, be glad!  hobix is in there, saving the day!

Thank you all for your help along the way and most of all, for Hobix
itself.
