yes, I've been leaning on those (and other) modules to get over the curve.
Problem is a module may do non-obvious things that are actually
important/cool/etc means of accomplishing an end (e.g the "context" usage of
mythmusic, sleek "mode change", but not obvious to a newbie like myself)

where?, cvsweb hasn't updated yet, and I'm not prepped for a general cvs up

Don't get me wrong ... in a week, I've gone from knowing nothing to having a
module that is pretty functional. No way, no how, without using the
"examples" (weather, music, etc) would I be where I'm at.

I might be by on irc sometime ... I have a "wish" that may be worth thinking
about as you do the "metadata server".(if it's what I think it is).
