[quills-dev] Questions about features

I'm contemplating upgrading my site from 2.1 to 2.5 and much of my  
motivation would be to access the new features available in Quills 1.5 
+ (If I have to upgrade Zope and Five I might as well migrate Plone  
too).

However, I am a bit lost on whether some features exist yet, I have  
seen them mentioned but not sure if they got anywhere.

1) Podcast support -- ability to deal with enclosures and to have the  
podcast-specific rss tags. Assuming this has not been done, I am  
looking to see if the following are available:
2) More customizable "description" field -- I want to provide a link  
to the podcast rss (currently NOT the rss of the quills instance  
because of lack of podcast support) in the description so that people  
can easily click to find the "official" rss and more easily copy it  
into their podcatcher.  Currently I have the rss address in text but  
since I cannot highlight it or create a link many people overlook it  
and thus don't subscribe properly.
3) Quills sidebar that is easier to edit -- To be able to change the  
existing rss tags and auto-discoverable rss feeds to be the offsite  
feeds rather than the quills default ones.  I know that tweaking can  
happen at the template level but when running multiple feeds off one  
site I'm looking for something easier if I can.

Please remember that I am sooooo not a coder and even tweaking  
templates is a challenge for me so I'm afraid I can't help implement  
any of these items.  I'm just looking to see if any of it has been  
done.  (Just the idea of upgrading Five scares me, let alone anything  
else!)

Thanks for your assistance.
