I'd love to see someone do a "smart remote" app that'd run on a pda.  Two way 
communication, preview vids, etc.  I've got an Axim x50v just beggin to be 
put to use like this. =)

I just want something that is:
- secure.
- Manages news, downloads, weblinks _easily_.

I just don't have tons of time to update the website, and the current stuff I 
have to jump through a bunch of hoops to update.  I basically had to gut out 
the administration files from phpnuke for security reasons, so whenever I 
want to update things, I have to log in and restore things, make my changes, 
then re-secure the website.  It bites, really.

I think the mythtv.info wiki move to mythtv.org should be finished sometime 
this year.  Maybe.  =)

Heh.  That's the intent of this list - for other people to say "hey, I'd like 
to work on that, and send in code.." =)  Not expecting things.
