Title:
  Documentation: preparing for Mythbuntu 9.10

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

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  sure what the policy on outdated documents is in the Wiki - maybe we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
