The Mac Media Center Project

By Barb Dybwad

It's just such an irresistible idea. The Mac Mini is too darn cute NOT to belong in your home media system. There are third-party solutions like Elgato's EyeTV and EyeHome systems, but wouldn't it be great to have a nice, free, open source application to handle the interfacing for your home theatre system Mac?

There are folks working on porting the MythTV project to OS
X, but setup is still too hairy for the average user. Now there's a new kid on the block:
The Mac Media Center Project. Its goals are to bring together the
"power and intuitiveness of the Macs' built in applications under a simple interface, for use as part of a Home Theatre system."

Looks like things are just getting underway over there, so if you want to participate in laying the groundwork for the feature set, hie thyself over to the forums and join in.
Could be an exciting ride.
