[mythtv] Possible suggestions for mythweather-revamp

Hi!

   Just curious where we could submit ideas/suggestions for the
mythweather-revamp?  E-Mail, wiki, etc?

I had a very specific request, that in all honesty, will probably
target a very small group of users.  However, I don't think it would
require a lot of work.  Would it be possible to allow users to select
"custom weather" reports, in addition to the traditional weather
reports, for specific topics such as aviation and marine?  This could
be an option in the settings that extends standard weather reports
with additional weather options (not a replacement).

For example, pilots want to see METARs, TAFs, and various maps from:
http://aviationweather.gov/ and
http://adds.aviationweather.gov/metars/.  This even includes a list of
stations for them to enter:
http://adds.aviationweather.gov/metars/stations.txt.

Marine forcasts can be found here:
http://www.weather.gov/om/marine/home.htm.  Unfortunantly, I'm not
familiar with the kind of information that someone might need for
marine weather.

Either way, I know this might not target a huge group of users, but
for the ones who use this information, they use it all the time.  In
fact, I know pilots that would rather refer to METAR and TAF
information rather than standard weather reports.

Thanks!
Matt
