[FM Discuss] Wordpress stuff

[Mr. Snow]

hi all .

i have just been looking into adding ones podcast to the itunes store  
( which is what i have in my outstanding list ) . there is very  
little that can be extended in this area if one is using  
wordpress.com, as one cannot re-author the templates or install  
plugins ( this would allow the extra xml namespaces that the itunes  
store supports ) . so i have a question .

do we either
1)	leave off where we are, leaving people to research itunes store  
themselves ( linked from the references section )
2)	fork the documentation, perhaps in the advanced topics ( which  
should be separated into a different chapter ? ) to introduce theme  
editing or plugins to support the itunes namespace .

ok, thoughts are welcome .
