• 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)
      • 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
