Introduction:
A client-server, platform-independent software package
for searching, managing, and recording television shows. Currently,
the project is in early alpha, consisting only of a small web-services
backend (using the Apache AXIS project's SOAP/WSDL implementation), as
well as the beginnings of a client application.
