[add-art dev] adding another non-goal

[Jamie Wilkinson]

Yeah, cross that bridge later. In the meantime I'd vote to keep  
blatant NSFW out of the "official" shows

Re. > 1 show -- Ethan's patches put us on track to being able to  
really open up the platform. It'd be great if we could hijack RSS for  
the show XML and make it trivial for folks to set up a "curator" blog.  
Maybe something as simple as including a *.zip/*.jar as a post's  
enclosure?
