Hokay. That's someone's independent project that they're working on outside 
the myth tree.... I thought you were talking about features incorporated into 
mythtv.
They've worked on something in their own and announced it on users.
What's the problem there? That has nothing to do with the mythtv development 
process.

There's a wiki for that sort of unrelated link. Expecting mythtv to link to 
everyone and his dog's project is unrealistic.
If someone wants to work on something on their own then announce it. Fine. If 
someone wants to work on something and get help they can announce their 
intention.
If someone wants to work on something and announce changes on myth-dev they 
can.

Oh the pain. Having to trawl through google or the archives for 
information. :-)

Perhaps the people working on the addon's don't want anyone else working on 
them.
