Future of the project
Not a lot planned really.
- Make more easily installable, so can be a component of other
projects which want to download listings.
- Cut down on dependencies, but avoid wheel reinvention.
Difficult.
- Lots and lots of DTD changes queued up.
- Grabbers for more different countries.
- Decent GUI programme picker(s) (tv_choose is quite good but I
want to improve mine too)
- 1.0 should be stable base for other projects (file format
and library must be backward compatible from then on)
- After 1.0, could split up a bit, but not possible before
then.
Also more advanced programme picking:
- Choose based on more than just title. Sometimes different
things share the same title (Pink Panther).
- Work out favourite actors and recommend. I am saving my
week's listings now for future grinding through such a
script.
- 'If you liked this, you'll also like...'
- Some way to incorporate critics. Maybe a parser for
NTK?
The end. But plenty of room for more demos I
think.
