Can podcast items be scheduled? Or must it all be done manually?

Say we have a video that is to be shown to the public in the future. Can we add it to a collection but not have it in a draft state until it is published on a date we schedule in advance? This is basically the functionality of the http://drupal.org/project/scheduler module. Thanks!

This will be worked on in the next days. I think we will be handling draft/published states using the Workflow module (which allows you to schedule state transitions... say "draft->publish tomorrow @ 12:00am") which would also then let us put optional editorial workflows in the future (have the possibility of a certain user role to only suggest items, then ask for review and publishing by a reviewer).

@Arphaus:
The draft/publish workflow is being pushed back a bit.. but...

The current dev version has support for a "Hide item from feed" switch that shows up on each track. This way you can--at least--hide items from the final XML feed (although the will not be hidden from other users looking at your drupal site.) Tracks that are hidden are specially marked within the track listing to let authors/admins know they're hidden.

Hope this helps!
