I don't know how I'd post them. In looking through the patch logs it seems LOTS of stuff is so backlogged and the core developers pick and choose what they want. So I could post it and nobody might ever see it.

I'm wondering if it would be better for me to just copy all the code into a new MyWeatherEx plugin and leave it as a standalone plugin.

I see they have the configuration for MyWeather directly in the configuration tool instaed of in the plugin. Is weather data used anywhere else in MediaPortal besides the weather plugin and install program?

I was looking to enhance the weather config settings. But they store everything flat in the mediaportal.xml file. Is there a specific reason it's all flat? Is there any reason why I couldn't store the data in a more nested organized fashion? I could teach it to read in the old settings if present and write out the new cleaner nested settings.
