I just want to bring up the Wiki. Whats the thought on how to, or if
to, integrate it into the redesign?

Also I like the idea of not having a "blog" style home page (ie like
it is now with the news listing being the main part), have a part of
the main page the latest news, but have it mostly show information on
what MythTV "is".
