[mythtv] For the release of 0.11

Now that 0.10 is out, I was wondering, what's next?  Are there landmarks
to be worked towards for the next release to be considered ready?  

One thing I would particularly like to see is for ALL configuration to
be available through the frontend settings.  Want to add another button
to the main menu?  Boom, add button feature in the settings menu.  Same
for remove.
I run myth in my car and I think this would be a wonderful way to change
things.  As myth is primarily designed for alternative display devices,
i.e. Televisions, this would make all changes easier and more
appropriate, no?

Secondly, the ability to import and export all of myth's settings.  I
would love to be able to go to a section of mythtv's website and
download other configurations and play with additions other people have
made...  playing dvds, vcds, etc, etc.  I'm sure people have a few nifty
tricks they could share and this would make it nice and easy.

I want to hear everyone's ideas for the next release.  Lots of times
programs have to work to overcome bugs and performance, but in my
opinion there isn't too much of an issue with that in myth's case.  Of
course there are bugs here and there, but even cvs releases have seemed
pretty solid to me -- myth releases are primarily extending and adding
entirely new features, so maybe a roadmap would be a good thing.
