<div>Chris,</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for your reply!</div><div><br></div><div>Whenever I talk to my Tivo friends they rave about its recommendation service and with MythTV cutting out the commercials (love this feature!) I feel that sometimes it is hard to know what interesting stuff is coming out.</div>
<div><br></div><div>My background is highly scalable web apps & distributed computing and I have computed recommendations in the past, so I can take care of the backend-side of things fairly quickly.</div><div><br></div>
<div>However I would need someone who is writing a plugin that would allow people to interact with the system and to provide their activity stream to me, so I can compute recommendations based on what similar people have watched.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I looked at the desired feature list and it seemed like something people are looking for. So if there is interest, I can pull some more requirements, wireframes together for the bidding process.</div><br>

</div>No problems with it that I know of. Several features in Myth have been<br>
added for 'bounties'. You should probably mention what you're looking<br>
for so that interested parties could respond, then you could discuss $$<br>
with them privately. Keep in mind that the people willing and able to<br>
do the work aren't going to do it for an insulting $$/hour rate. I<br>
think the concensus is people would rather work on things that interest<br>
them for free rather than earning the equivalent of $5-10 an hour for<br>
a feature they are not interested in.<br>
<br>
All that being said, let us know what your idea is and you might find<br>
someone interested or maybe even better someone who has already had the<br>
same idea and started working on something or at least thinking about<br>
it.<br>
