- Creation of a standardized testing methodology has been deferred until after the 0810 release

- DVD Installer
- It was decided that this feature is a blocker for beta - mostly because of the need to test thoroughly before release
- The current DVD installer method, which involves VMWare, is not acceptable for 0810
- A new method using packages cached on DVD should be created
- totallymaxed will be heading up this effort
- PVR Recording File Structure
- All recordings (MythTV or VDR) will be stored in /home/public/data/pvr - the usual symlinks will be created for each storage device
- MythTV will have storage groups for each user's directory (including 'public') on each storage device
- jondecker76 is heading up this effort
