Just some ideas :

-> remote control support / keyboard support
    lirc task
    other remote control, like with the hand on a touch screen, with the
voice, ...
    find what you want with a virtual keyboard
    more control : create a playlist,...

-> integration like mac os x = just press a button
    get all your media in one click
    ubuntu theme : maybe something transparent : same as elisa but no black
screen, you can see your desktop behind. For example you chat on irc, and
you're waiting a response. You can reopen elisa and see what happen behind

-> gnome/kde controller/applet for elisa -> typical use case, you don't want
to reopen elisa just to play the next song

-> an option to launch it at startup

-> a plugin to configure elisa : gtk,pigment or web server
    configuration with text file is no "desktop ready"

-> do something if no graphics driver are available : is it possible to have
elisa with no 3D effects ?

-> integration with device : if elisa is your media center, when you plug
your digital camera, elisa shows you a list of action, same for device like
mp3 device.

-> something with telepathy : don't know why, but i guess we can do some
funny things

All comments are welcome !


There is nothing on the wiki page. Does someone write something somewhere
already ?
