i know this looks very intriguing (nuno mockups are toooooo pretty :p) but everyone interested on that could perhaps consider also the other ideas on techbase. that said i do want proposals on this project because is cool, but i also think more the proposals are various the better is (i'm saying this to everyone interested in, so you, alediaferia, dotevo and elv1313, using the irc terminology :p) if everybody really wants it well, just everybody write a proposal, but is a bit sad that would automatically mean that most will get axed for sure, rather than having a bit more chance each :) Cheers, Marco Martin > I've also worked a lot on Digital TV/IPTV development last year. > Currently I'm working on the User Experience and Digital Artefacts Design > Research Lab (a partnership between the Design Department of my University > and INdT) and I've been really into projects related to design, interface > and usability.
