DavidC: Suggestion for Backup Application

* When I VPN into work, I can't simply type in HDA. Is there a way to fix that?

= Suggestions and Feature Requests =

* Boot time: need to minimize down to ? 30 sec?
* Indicator lights: Power, Boot complete/health?, network status ... Limit to minimum number per device.

* Remove the annoying message
<pre><nowiki>Thank you for your changes. Your attention to detail is appreciated.
Clear message</nowiki></pre>
when saving a wiki page.
* User system
* User management page (User system?): Like to see a "setup" webpage where one can:
# create new users with default levels or custom levels of access
# enable user account for (check box) for different levels of HDA features: Disk sharing(public/private), wiki, remote login, administrator rights, FTP, SSH, mail, view or program MythTV, view webcam....
To the user, he/she only has one account on the HDA, one user name (per user) for all of the services

* In the help wiki, provide a search box.
* I like to see either frames or a floating (popup) window with the HDA nav bar.... I want to get back to HDA home after I goto say 'router' page
* favors tab where when I VPN into my HDA, I can have a popup showing my bookmarks... sync. with my browser would even be better!

== Backups ==
Samba implementation is great, and I probably would have switched from
Ubuntu to Fedora+Amahi if there had been a backup application that was
implemented as nicely.
Might not be hard to create a really nice web interface to rsnapshot?
- since there is only the config file (and maybe a exclusion list file) to set up.

== Calendar ==

* In the default image, provide some default Calendars.
* The following is from my google calendar
#. Bay Area Events
#. Free things to do - SF
#. hey valleywag
#. San Francisco Symphony (never really updated though)
#. San Francisco World Music Calendar
#. U.S. Holidays
#. Canadian Holidays
#. French Holidays
#. Japan Holidays

== Pictures ==

* Provide default album(s)
* Couldn't export from Aperture, doesn't support XML web templates

* Photo Grabber Application (via card reader)
Pulls the content of memory media (say attached via a USB card reader) into the pictures directory?

==== stage 1 implementation ====

#. So by default, it pulls it into a folder named (yyyy-mm-dd-time) w/in the pictures directory
#. User options: automatic loading upon insertion or manual loading via web interface
#. There is a way to tell the difference between a USB stick, SD/Compact flash, USB HDD... I think. I know several application I have only runs when I plug in a memory media (iPhoto, some load utility from Canon).

==== stage 2 implementation ====
#. Management options such as delete, move, rename folder, create folder, delete folder.
#. Automatic file renaming during import option (i.e. User can configure to have images images imported as (yyyy-mm-dd-####.jpg, or yyyy-mm-dd-eventname-####.jpg)

==== bonus round implementation ====
#. Integrate User Management systems controls such that permissions/visibility can be set.
<pre><nowiki>Example usage scenario:
Hi Carlos,

Thanks for the great party! Just got home 5 minutes ago, headed straight to bed. The pictures from the party are already up on mcpete.yourhda.com {via Autograb}. Just look for today's date. I'll sort through the pictures and rename them as appropriate after I
land in Tokyo tomorrow night{via VPN and stage 2 stuff}! Be sure to check out the ones where you were dancing on the table!

Thanks again for inviting me to the party

Cheers,
Peter</nowiki></pre>

== Receipes ==

* Provide default receipe(s), preferably Indian :)

== Requested Applications ==

#. Movie Page for all my home movies (something like youtube, but for my movies)
* At minimum, at least let me access my shares via a url (or is this already possible)
#* Obviously I'll want to share them in the future!
#. Bookmark Application
#* Would love to be able to access my bookmarks from anywhere
#. Video Clip Download Application
#* It'd be great if an HDA application downloaded all the top 4+ star rated videos from the various web video sites. I don't have a TV and these clips keep me entertained
#* Sites I'd use include youtube, google, revver, break, metacafe and collegehumor

# Wake-on-lan capability to enable server to send wake-up packet to client pc and perform backup and put client back to sleep.
