Hey folks,

Podium, my new name for the media contribution app, is ready for 
testing. Check it out here:

http://thewordnerd.homeip.net/podium

At the moment it just accepts uploaded contributions via form. Adding a 
Mobile optimized site should be fairly easy and will probably be my next 
step. A REST web service should also be fairly simple. We could even do 
a Flash/Javascript hybrid using Flash for the recording and 
communicating with JS for accessibility.

Feel free to throw random audio at this to let me know how it works. At 
the moment it has transcoded WAV and 3GP to MP3.

The authentication is done via http://shiro.apache.org, meaning we can 
use everything from property files containing usernames/passwords to 
LDAP/SQL databases. Right now I'm just using a properties file. Log in 
with username "root", password "secret" to see the admin screen. 
Naturally this isn't a production instance. :) Feel free to delete audio 
to test out the comet. The interface should update in real-time, so if 
you're in the admin screen when someone uploads audio, it should appear. 
Similarly, if someone else deletes something then it should vanish.
