Agree with restricting the options for the iteration, but going beyond the "On 
hold" state for a moment as discussed:

With respect to the "slug" (I assume we're talking about a dummy episode à la 
http://fwd4.me/xAf), I think we might have to clarify what "Replacing media 
with slug" means: You would probably have to update metadata as well, if only 
for dcterms:extent for the video duration, maybe dcterms:title also for people 
to identify the missing episode immediately without having to click on it 
("Chemistry IV: Lecture 4 - unpublished"). Also, I seem to remember there was a 
technical reason (checksum being built?) you couldn't just easily swap media 
tracks, but maybe that's a REPLAY phantom pain.

As far as "Publication without media" is concerned, I'm not sure that is a good 
option in that the MMM as well as the embedded player or any other video player 
you use to present your episode won't have anything to display. While this 
might work in a portal (or even the MMM) where the additional metadata informs 
people the episode hasn't been published, this information would not be 
displayed in a "pure" video player - it would be a blank, suggesting technical 
failure. So I would argue for always having some slug/dummy episode to replace 
de-/unpublished media. The downside being that they also make it to RSS and 
iTunes (U) as you can see from the example above. Thoughts? We actually accept 
that in order for people not to worry why March 23 was not recorded.

Finally, you're asking about metadata for ordering the episodes of a series: 
That of course is dcterms:created which should be "YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm" in order 
to make sure you can order episodes from the same day (conference). As 
discussed, an additional option to order episodes "anti-RSS" (where the oldest 
recording is first in the list) would be handy at some stage in the workflow to 
display episodes from a one-day workshop in the order they were recorded - not 
the other way round...

Olaf A.
