>MythAnsweringMachine

> - option to email you when someone leaves a message

>MythBrowser
> - very simple web browser integrated with the TV module, i.e. 
>surf and watch TV at same time
> - probably pretty easy to do since QT has a lot of this 
>functionality already.

>MythDVDDatabase
> - this would be a nice option to add to the MythDVD module
> - be able to add movies in your collection to the database 
>and retrieve the IMDB info as well
> - option to export or put on the web, publish web page for 
>your database
> - can input UPC code, look it up on the web like the cuecat 
>software has
> - integrate a barcode reader if you have one or use your 
>webcam as a barcode reader... this would be a very simple 
>vision algorithm to implement
>
>MythP2P
> - a peer-to-peer client for other mythtv users so we can 
>share files and add them to our database properly
> - i.e. sharing tv shows, music, movies, pictures etc...
>
>MythKaraoke
> - a karaoke module could be added to mythmusic, this would be cool
