Hmmm.

Well, *we're* flacking it.  :-)

This sort of infrastructural stuff is what I live for (not really being
a coder, and given the dearth of seats for designer/analysts amongst
open source projects :-); I'm going to be taking a serious swing at
trying to get it all marching in at least the right general direction,
if not in step.

Once I've got something to show you on that front, I will.  

I gather in the past you've been reticent to link the Wiki from
mythtv.org; was there a specific thing you weren't happy about?
If we can fix it, would you?

Cheers,
