I am attempting to put together an open-source project to serve as the
infrastructure for a large, networked, community.
I am considering using MythTV, but I am intrigued by your comments above.

What do you consider MythTV "design mistakes"?

 If you were designing PVR software today, where would you start?  Would you
still rely on C and C++, or would you build with higher level languages?

Please feel free to direct me to previous forum or blog posts, but I have
not been able to find much.

Thank you for your help, and for your excellent contributions to the MythTV
project.

Best regards,

Marc
