  Hi there! That's awesome. The short answer is, we're still figuring it out! Part of the approach we're taking is about letting us test things with real users against live feeds without bugging people every time we change our minds (about the content of the extensions or about the format of them), and we're still at the very early phases. The somewhat longer answer is, we know we would like to get better promotional / onboarding data from the feeds - including things like a 140 character description for the feed that references similar content from other media (like tv), or the best gateway episodes to present new users with. Ordering is a big one, for shows that are e.g. serialized, or even for shows with short, strictly ordered series embedded (think 2 part specials in a daily news feed). The folks at https://syndicated.media https://syndicated.media (including me) have been keeping track of ideas on Github (https://github.com/syndicated-media/sn-spec/issues https://github.com/syndicated-media/sn-spec/issues), and you would be most welcome in the slack group for syndicated media, where things are just starting to pick up. Shoot me an email if you would like an invite!
