+ # The Autocast Initiative
11
+ 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.
12
+
13
+ All contributers are volonteers.
14
+
15
+ ## The Principles Autocasting
16
+
17
+ * The content is primarily not created.
18
+
19
+ * Neither the files or the RSS feed is not manipulated after publish, other than to correct mistakes.
20
+ * * The "episode description" is the exception to the above. Use this field however you please.
21
+
22
+ * No method is to be considered "too low-effort" when it comes to generating audiofiles.
23
+
24
+ * For content protected by monetization is encouraged to commit scrambled content and provide means for unscrambling as they see fit.
25
+ * * Further monetization is encouraged.
26
+
27
+ * Get paid if you can.

+ ## How to contribute
30
+
31
+ Create a folder for your autocast as so:
32
+ ```
33
+ /archive/[Name of your feed]/
34
+ ```
35
+
36
+ Do not substitute special characters (if possible)
37
+
38
+ In this folder, include your episodes as well as snapshots of your RSS feed at the time of publish (if possible)
39
+ ```
40
+ /archive/[Name of your feed]/[001].mp3 // or whichever format you use
41
+ /archive/[Name of your feed]/[001].xml
42
+ /archive/[Name of your feed]/[002].mp3 // ...
43
+ /archive/[Name of your feed]/[002].xml
44
+ ...
45
+ /archive/[Name of your feed]/[00n].mp3 // ...
46
+ /archive/[Name of your feed]/[00n].xml
47
+ ...
48
+ ```
49
+

+ If you intend to publish more than 1000 episodes in a single feed, figure it out (responsibly)
