I see one video which is a. not on youtube and b. not generic like 
Sintel. Obviously we can and should include Sintel and Big Buck Bunny, 
and the KDE video. But a nice screencast would be nice. Are there 4.6 
screencasts? Include the KDE 4.6 screenshots and make some shots with 
different setups? Include demo video's of Plasma Mobile, Plasma Tablet 
etcetera?

Look, I'm extremely busy so I simply won't have time to help. And it 
needs to be ready by the end of next week, March 25.

A page with links to ogg files, music and video (yes, avi won't play, no 
codecs of course) and zip files with images, maybe the KDE folders and 
other materials (so if you don't have any material, the DVD contains it 
so you can print it) in a zip as well. Why not a dump of userbase and 
techbase so users can read up on documentation?!?

And include that bloody booklet ;-)

Will and me can take care of a nice folder layout that makes sense etc - 
but I just don't have time right now to gather, let alone create the 
content. Shouldn't be more than a few hours (but for me that now means 
skipping a night or something like that, I barely have time to sleep 
more than 6 hours a night).

Sorry, I just can't even reply to mails within a week right now - 1693 
unread mails in *important folders* right now.

I hope you can make sure the KDE DVD's rock - after all, it'd be a waste 
of good money (and a shame as GNOME 3 WILL have good liveDVD's) if this 
doesn't get any interesting content...
