I've been reading bits of this thread and would like to add some of my
own idea's on the commercial viability of freevo.
Currently I see freevo as a product of great value, to myself as a user
and to my group of friends who all enjoy the capabilities it provides. I
would happily buy this softwa

Yes, I like to spend many hours on trivial, but hard-to-solve problems..
There is another thought that has to be considered after reading this...

I think you are completly missing the point. The idea isn't to force everyone
to use the same remote. Everything will still be the same as it is now. The
software is the same, LIRC still works, etc. There are two minor differences,
though. First, The documentation can be more specific, since the

The OpenSource idea is what made software like freevo and it's components
what they are today. If you make them commercial, no matter how, you are
discouraging people to contribute.

Interesting issues. I've been pretty bad with providing User Interface
input, but I still would
like to contribute. UI design for consumer products is the work I do on
a daily basis and
Freevo is a great product.
I cannot code either (no matter how much I want to, I don't know where
to start).

Actually, I find freevo's interface
pretty good.
It's clean, it's simple and I never
have any trouble finding what I want.
As to modesum, ok, it's all very
nice complaining about modes, but without suggestions as to how it could
be done
better, it's of no use at all.

Yes, of course it would remain remote friendly :)
I have heard good things on Alan Cooper's book. I would like to read it
along with The Design of Everyday Things. It does not explain the
underlying science of human computer interaction, or how to test it.

Zach-
As long as the interface remains remote friendly I wold love to see
what you got. Also if you have not read it I recommend reading Alan
Cooper's "The inmates are running the Asylum" A good book on why UI's
seem to be inevitably bad.
