Goal
HPR is dedicated to sharing knowledge and as such it should be possible for someone to have the files locally and play them on a mp3 player.
It should be possible to post the entire backlog to someone and have them plug it in and for any media player be able to play it. Each episode has it's own "album" which corresponds to a directory. The directory structure is kept as flat as possible with everything related to show 9876 in a single directory hpr9876. This is the least common denominator, and in no way precludes web services, or other applications.
We do however need to support other functionality so the Episodes are kept inside of the eps directory, the Hosts are in hosts/, and Series are in series/.
Layers
We get files from different locations. The source files are delivered by the hosts, some are generated by processing, and others are added by the Janitors that cleanup the show notes.
All these are combined and end up as a complete entity, on one of the HPR Origin servers.
From there is delivered made available via RSS, etc.
