Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV: Fix Committed

Bug description:
Hello,

this bug report is an attempt to contact the mythbuntu-documentation team, as Launchpad is somewhat lacking in that aspect right now.

The Mythbuntu Intrepid release is approaching rapidly, and we should get the documentation into shape right now. Instructions for getting the documentation source are here: http://wiki.mythbuntu.org/mythbuntu/contributing/documentation

We need to update existing sections, beginning with the installation. If a few people sat down with a copy of the manual and install Mythbuntu 8.10 Alpha 4 and updated the manual to reflect the differences, that'd be a great help. Any takers?

We also have some new applications for Intrepid which also need to be mentioned, like mythbuntu-log-grabber (maybe in the "troubleshooting" or "getting help" section) and mythexport.  You can find the author of these packages in #ubuntu-mythtv-dev on irc.freenode.net.

There also are a lot of incomplete sections in the manual. Please look through it and find something you'd like to write.  For example, look at Chapter 11, pick your favourite plugin and write some basic documentation or just a short description for it. We don't need to re-invent the wheel - check other MythTV resources like http://wiki.mythtv.org/ and the Ubuntu Wiki at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV and just add a link to some good documentation if you find some. However, it's always worth noting Ubuntu specific things like path names.

If you plan on extending a section, please leave a note here to avoid duplicated work.

Does anyone want to clean up the Community Docs at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV? I'd argue that we don't need documentation for 7.04 anymore as it has reached End Of Life. I'm not sure what the policy on outdated documents is in the Wiki - maybe we should just remove the links instead of deleting these pages completely.

If there are any questions, feel free to drop by in #ubuntu-mythtv-dev or send me an email to laga AT laga DOT ath DOT cx.

Regards,

Michael
