I just started using gpodder and it's a very nice app. I think the benefit of getting it into the extras repo is that then it's easier for beginners to find. It gets that much more exposure.

I'm able to confirm the bug samikki reported with my n810. I open gpodder, and as soon as I slide the keyboard open it crashes. Closing the keyboard has no effect. There are some dbus messages generated on keyboard open and close. Perhaps an unexpected dbus message is crashing it?
