Login to my.gpodder.org and download subscription list
App menu in main window

- Add new podcast (subscribe to a podcast by entering/pasting the feed URL)
- Unsubscribe (remove the subscription and downloads of the selected podcast)
- Preferences (Set up audio and media player)
- About gPodder (About dialog.. nothing more)
- Podcast directory (OPML from web; suggested podcasts; top podcasts; YouTube subscriptions)
Main window UI
- Left pane lists podcasts, right pane lists episodes in selected podcast
- Clicking on an episode opens its shownotes in a new stackable window
Episode shownotes UI
- Has image of podcast, title of episode + podcast, shownotes
- Appmenu has: Play/Stream; Download/Cancel/Delete; Pause/Resume; Do not download/Mark as new; Open website (does this work with the browser??)
Download status UI
- List of current downloads (queued, downloading, finished, paused, cancelled, failed)
- Clicking on an item opens the shownotes window
- Appmenu has: Pause all; Resume all; Cancel all; Clean up list (removes all with status: cancelled, finished, failed)

Advanced features:

Close gPodder while downloads are running; on next startup, it asks you to resume the downloads

Main window uses GtkPaned [1]
Podcast directory dialog uses GtkNotebook [2] -- bug 4690 has a solution; still needs implementation

Installation fails on postinst[3] (fixed in 0.16.1-3fremantleui)
Don't use "I" while writing messages from software (bug 4684; fixed in 0.16.1-4fremantleui)
Several UI bugs/annoyances (Maemo bugs 4686, 4687, 4688 and 4689; fixed in 0.16.1-5fremantleui)
Welcome window now works again (fixed in 0.16.1-6fremantleui)

Integration with MAFW (downloaded episodes as MafwSource/MafwPlaylist?) -- depends on bug 4675
Automatic updating in the background (depending on cellular/wlan connection?)
Tablet-related content (Tablet School video podcast?) -- needs content publishers to provide their content as video podcast
