Channel 9 WP7 app

Hey guys, I referenced about a WP7 application for Ch9 and was wondering if anyone would be interested in helping build it out?

This would be an app you'd use so I figure it so figure you guys would want some input and would hopefully want to help build it out.  I also think this would be a pretty interesting Coding4Fun article as well.  Who's in for doing some dev/design work on CodePlex?

Again, yes.

haha, I wanted it on a different thread

Ok, I'm created a new project on CodePlex (on codeplex I'm "crutkas")

http://channel9.codeplex.com/

Things I know we need right away to do:

1. Must Ship Features
2. Rough UI feel
3. How to store data
4. How the app should "wake up"
5. Do we need Toast / Tile notification?

I started the documentation wiki. So, this is what I think the app should do:

 

A panorama display where the pages are: Main, Forums, Videos

 

In the main page, we display the featured video front and center, followed by a list of, say, 20 recent videos (or how many are shown on the C9 home today.

 

In the Forums page, we display a list of available forums.

 

In the Videos page, we display a list of recent videos, with the option to search.

 

Sounds ok as a start?

We need to leverage what RSS feeds we have access to.  Sadly there isn't one for search or for shows ...

home page

http://channel9.msdn.com/Feeds/RSS/

all media

http://channel9.msdn.com/Media/Videos/RSS/

Show example:

http://channel9.msdn.com/shows/This+Week+On+Channel+9/RSS/

So I need...

 

1. List of all Forums

2. Given a forum [id|name], return a list of topics

3. Given a topic id, return all posts

 

Do we have feeds for this?

Looks like I was wrong for forums!  http://channel9.msdn.com/Forums/rss

I'm trying to commit the app core, but i get:

Any suggestion? (and yes, I'm entering the right password )
