This is the deal

Welcome to AnAppAWeek! (About time)

The way I was planning on this working is at the beginning of each week I sit down in the chartroom and look over emails, forum posts and chat that I've seen in the room, and figure out what that weeks application will be. I will do screen broadcasting of my code as much as possible, but I WILL NOT have a set time to code each day. I will release a new application every 7 days. These will be more polished then Jedi's apps as I have 7 times as much time per application. Start getting ideas together and post them to www.TheSoftwareJedi.com.

Lets get this movin'.

Taking suggestions?

How about a stripped-down, super lightweight version of MSN Messenger? I'm thinking that would be a challenging, but fun project.

Also, to the original Software Jedi, you should start "AnOpenAppAMonth", where the idea would be to have a small group of people co-operating to build an application in a month. That would be interesting...

I would love to see a remote performance monitoring tool, to watch Performance Counters on other machines. It would probably have to be client/server, where you install a service onto the remote computer(s).

Good luck with this! Looking forward to see what you do.

I know many that would like to see a light-weight and secure alternative to Windows shared folders. Something super snappy with all the NTFS goodness (i.e., binary execution from share, permissions, etc.), all without the slow overhead. Do it Doug!

Just a simple idea: some global word collector/suggesting program (similar to an OpenOffice feature) that works in all programs. (It remembers the words I type and give suggestions as I type them again and they can be inserted with a simple hotkey.) Number of entries, minimum word length, etc. can be set by the user.
Good luck for you projects.

And yes... maybe with "wordlists", one active to save to, and read from the checked ones :)
And yes... import/export functionality with some simple text format.
(Sometimes I have to type a lot of technical texts in a special program that lacks anything similar and it's painful... but wordlists could be exported and converted to a simple text format.)

For how long are you going to be doing this?
