Another week is coming to a close and we’re looking forward to the July 4th weekend here in the United States. Here at Hack7MC we’ve had a great first half of the year! Our readership has skyrocketed and become an involved community of Media Center enthusiasts. Looking forward there’s plenty more content that needs to be covered, from alternative media browsing plugins to metadata aggregator programs as well as a bevy of other tools that are sure to crop up as we get closer to the official release of Windows 7.

In the future we’d also like to have a series of guide detailing how to get started creating your own Media Center plugins. In order to provide the bets information for budding plugin developers we need to enlist a member or two from the community, however.

What we’re looking for is a volunteer who can write up a few basic guides to getting started with the most basic tasks of creating Windows Media Center plugins. Creating a “Hello, World” plugin with a few controls and and a launch icon in the Extra Programs menu. Keeping the language very simple, easy to read and for the basic beginner with no programming experience. No need to get into the nuances and minor details at this point.

If you think you might be interested in sharing your expertise with the Media Center community and can provide an easy to read guide with plenty of screenshots, you may be exactly what we’re looking for! This stint could also potentially lead to a more involved and steady position here at Hack7MC and in future projects in development.

So if you’re interested in participating in the community here at Hack7MC and helping your fellow enthusiasts be sure to fill out your details in the form at the end of this post letting us know you’re interested. No worries if you don’t have previous experience with online writing or aren’t looking for long term commitment.
