Please.  We all are here because we like the product.  And the OP point is
valid.  MythTV lacks documentation.  It has alot but in this area it is also
lagging.  Of course, I think the Wiki is the perfect place for all those
users who are looking for a place to contribute to start.  MythTV needs more
than coders, it needs people to document *working* configurations in simple
terms for people to use.  These can best come from the user community, not
just the developers.
