Thank you for taking up the project. If you are blogging about it and since you would already have a Fedora account, you might want to consider adding your blog to Planet Fedora http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Planet/Join A few additional notes: Design this program around use cases: What sort of things are you trying to enable vs features. A feature focus would result in a complex and awkard UI. Search is a really critical and central use case. The primary ability is to search, collate and save searches by metadata. IMDB provides genre information which is important since if you have a collection of movies, being able to say, hey, today I want to watch a thriller and browse through the all thrillers you have is wonderful. Ability to tag movies is needed so I can add custom filtering if needed. For example, all I movies I watched last year. I would want to add some notes if necessary. For example, This movie was recommended to me by Kushal. Related but slightly different, Ability to mark as a movie as watched, loaned, recommended etc. I like that idea of pushing out features into plugins. I am looking forward to trying out this software. Rahul _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dgplug.org/listinfo.cgi/users-dgplug.org
