I'm thinking of launching a MythTV distro website

[Rich Braun]

Over the past 18 months I've gone back & forth with trying to get MythTV up
and running correctly at my house.

The latest distros from OpenSUSE (11.2 on 12-Nov) and MythTV (0.22 on 4-Nov)
lead me to believe that this software is "almost" ready for primetime.

But the existing documentation online is hard to follow, and the default
settings for practically everything in this software are out of date:  mostly
based on hardware that might have been current when the overall distro was
newer, but not on anything you can buy today from Newegg/Best Buy/Microcenter.

I can't say I've solved *all* the problems but I believe that what I've put
together along with whatever other contributions we as BLU members can pull
together could deliver a vastly superior "out of the box" experience for users
new *or* experienced.

Although I manage a site with 600 megabits of traffic for work and know how to
deliver the bits, what I don't know is how to get together a small group of
volunteers to launch and support a whole new distro.  The goal of this would
be to drive MythTV into the future of media, and to keep "fair use" of
purchased and OTA recordings the law of the land by keeping these tools in the
hands of the users rather than the media moguls.  The site itself would
deliver one-button installs onto a limited, preselected set of off-the-shelf
hardware (nothing less than 1080p high-def).  It would be most adamantly
not-for-profit.

Any thoughts?  What I'm talking about could become a quite busy site and I
don't quite know where to begin.
