Podcast pioneer Dave Winer, who wrote the RSS 2.0 standard on which podcast distribution is built, has started building what he describes as a “community podcasting directory.”

Winer intends to recreate iPodder.org (now IndiePodder.org), one of the earliest podcast directories. iPodder’s architecture was unique, because it was a distributed directory built on Outline Processor Markup Language (OPML) text files, maintained by people around the world.

While iPodder was one of the first important podcast directories, it was limited by speed issues, dead nodes and other problems. This quickly led to the creation of dozens of other podcast directories. IndiePodder.org is now part of PodShow, which appears to be letting the site stagnate. The site was last updated five months ago.

Winer’s project is ambitious. It is faced with overcoming both the performance and availability issues that limited iPodder.org, and the political challenges that have sidelined community directory projects like the Open Directory Project.
