That's an excellent idea. I did a degree in Interaction Design and Interactive Multimedia at the Utrecht
School of the arts in Hilversum, the Netherlands. I'm sure if I call a couple of people there I can get them
interested (I've arranged a couple of projects for students there in the past). It's also difficult for me to spend
a lot of time on things like this as work tends to get in the way (although that doesn't stop me from wanting
to assist you with UI design issues).


It tends to be difficult for these students to find graduation projects/internships in the Netherlands these
days as corporations are still not that keen on hiring students for a couple of months and not every student
is willing to give it a try abroad. The opportunity to have a student work full-time on this would be a great one
and I'd be happy to arrange and support this. The only issue like you mentioned would be support on
implementation.


Let me know what you think, I'm happy to help out here.


Regards,

Robert

Maybe it's time to look for more resources on the graphical design of Freevo. Many design colleges require their students to do one or more practical assignments. We could try to find a school that supports this project and provides a student that wants to help. This would typically be a 1-3 month assignment, and, provided that the Freevo developers help out, it would result in a new design that can even be implemented by the student himself. It seems to me that this would be a cool assignment for a student too.

Does someone on this list know any graphical design student, or teacher who can ask for possibilities in a graphical design college?

Of course we need commitment from the main developers to help the student out while developing/implementing the design. The number of HTPC applications is growing and <the looks> might become one of the bigger discriminators...
