John,

If the version of the script at 
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythcutprojectx does not work with current 
trunk, you can add a new section to the page for the trunk version and 
add another "Code box" (use the existing one as a template) and some 
description explaining how users should decide which version to 
download.  In other words, you can have as many different scripts (or 
script versions) on a page as you need.  Feel free to make separate 
0.23-fixes and trunk sections and add a Table of Contents so users can 
click directly to the one they want.

I do understand why you might be weary of adding a version you haven't 
personally tested to the wiki page, so feel free to, instead, recruit 
some trunk user who's using the script to handle that part of the page.  :)

Thanks--and thanks for keeping up with/following up on/maintaining your 
script.

Mike

Background (but I'm pretty sure you understand this, since you've been 
editing the wiki page for the script)

We had started the process of moving all the user-contributed scripts to 
the wiki before you had submitted the script.  So, the 
mythcutprojectx.sh script was placed on the wiki--in the Scripts 
category ( http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Category:Scripts ) and, 
specifically, in User Job Scripts ( 
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Category:User_Job_Scripts )--where the other 
user-contributed scripts were moved.

The new home of mythcutprojectx.sh is 
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythcutprojectx .
