# The Autocast Initiative |
|
This dataset archives podcasts in real-time. Podcasts that indentify with the principle of autocasting as their method for sharing audiofiles with an audience of subsribers. |
|
|
|
All contributers are volonteers. |
|
|
|
## The Principles Autocasting |
|
|
|
* The content is primarily not created. |
|
|
|
* Neither the files or the RSS feed is not manipulated after publish, other than to correct mistakes. |
|
* * The "episode description" is the exception to the above. Use this field however you please. |
|
|
|
* No method is to be considered "too low-effort" when it comes to generating audiofiles. |
|
|
|
* For content protected by monetization is encouraged to commit scrambled content and provide means for unscrambling as they see fit. |
|
* * Further monetization is encouraged. |
|
|
|
* Get paid if you can. |

## How to contribute |
|
|
|
Create a folder for your autocast as so: |
|
``` |
|
/archive/[Name of your feed]/ |
|
``` |
|
|
|
Do not substitute special characters (if possible) |
|
|
|
In this folder, include your episodes as well as snapshots of your RSS feed at the time of publish (if possible) |
|
``` |
|
/archive/[Name of your feed]/[001].mp3 // or whichever format you use |
|
/archive/[Name of your feed]/[001].xml |
|
/archive/[Name of your feed]/[002].mp3 // ... |
|
/archive/[Name of your feed]/[002].xml |
|
... |
|
/archive/[Name of your feed]/[00n].mp3 // ... |
|
/archive/[Name of your feed]/[00n].xml |
|
... |
|
``` |
|
|
|
If you intend to publish more than 1000 episodes in a single feed, figure it out (responsibly) |
