Hello Alex,

    I noticed there are quite a lot duplicates on gpodder.net

    added a few ones to
    http://wiki.gpodder.org/wiki/Web_Services/Merge_Queue , but so far
    nothing has happened.


Just for clarification: It was my recommendation to add those duplicates there. I haven't processed them yet because I'm still working the merging-code. A lot of entities are referencing podcasts and episodes, and I'd like to be totally sure to not destroy some user's subscriptions by doing a merge.

    I think I could look after them from time to time, if you could
    grant my gpodder.net <http://gpodder.net> account
    "Alexander_Wilms" some edit rights and explain how to to merge
    entries. Or has this to be done manually in the db? In the past I
    was a member of the LibreOffice design team with commit rights and
    I help translating some projects
    (https://launchpad.net/~alexander-wilms
    <https://launchpad.net/%7Ealexander-wilms>
    <https://launchpad.net/%7Ealexander-wilms>), if that increases my
    credibility :)


Good to know :) At the moment there is no proper infrastructure for flagging merge candidates and carrying out the actual merges, but I'm working on that so that. In the meantime you can just continue adding duplicates to the wiki page - I will eventually find the time to merge those ;) Once a proper merging infrastructure is in place, I'll definitely get back to you.
