My understanding is that the Trac system is also a possible place to submit your 'changes/additions' to the documentation. I could be wrong, this could be just for documentation on bug reports etc. Good question for the dev list I'd guess. > (2) Are there any good SGML wysiwyg editors?

Not sure, but my guess is that yet even more people can write in plain text than in HTML ;) Chad ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Just a couple thoughts here: (1) I wouldn't waste my time writing up a bunch of documentation without talking to rkulagow first. Seems like it would really suck to spend a ton of time writing up something only to find out there's no interest. Maybe I'm misunderstanding here though, is he solely in charge of all the documentation? Or are there other venues for submitting docs? (2) Are there any good SGML wysiwyg editors? IMO limiting the format like this isn't helping move the documentation forward. If someone has to learn SGML tags, its going to be less likely to find people to help. Lots more people know HTML, and there are many good HTML editors around. The easier it is to add documentation, the more that will get written. Maybe the documentation should be in wiki? Just some thoughts...

I may have the first season of Andy Griffith on DVD and also recode them off TV. I want to be able to have it all in the same guide. Are their any plans for a manual import that lets you start/stop recording on an input and enter show info via the front end? ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
