• User system
• User management page (User system?): Like to see a "setup" webpage where one can:

1. create new users with default levels or custom levels of access
2. 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!

Calendar

• In the default image, provide some default Calendars.
• The following is from my google calendar

1. . Bay Area Events
2. . Free things to do - SF
3. . hey valleywag
4. . San Francisco Symphony (never really updated though)
5. . San Francisco World Music Calendar
6. . U.S. Holidays
7. . Canadian Holidays
8. . French Holidays
9. . 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

1. . So by default, it pulls it into a folder named (yyyy-mm-dd-time) w/in the pictures directory
2. . User options: automatic loading upon insertion or manual loading via web interface
3. . 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

1. . Management options such as delete, move, rename folder, create folder, delete folder.
2. . 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

1. . Integrate User Management systems controls such that permissions/visibility can be set.

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

Receipes

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

Requested Applications

1. . 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)

1. • Obviously I'll want to share them in the future!
2. . Bookmark Application
   • Would love to be able to access my bookmarks from anywhere
3. . 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
