One thing that I think would be useful (but haven't had the time to add 
myself [tm]) is a glossary.  A single page listing short definitions of 
common terms (OSD, XvMC, nuv, msp3400 etc.) and how the relate to 
MythTV,  along with links to more detailed info for each.  Of course, 
all of this info is available to anyone that knows how to use google, 
but having it all on one page would help a lot of newbies ploughing 
through the docs for the first time.
