As far as I am concerned the text in the etherpad is good to go. It has to be 
put in the right spot, however, and it needs screenshots. I won't be doing 
either as I'm still busy with work today :(

I did turn the etherpad text into proper html (at least, with tags for the 
links, not with paragraph and header notes as I'm not sure what exactly is 
needed there) and gave it a last check. It shouldn't be too much work to put 
it up.

Screenshots, that's another story. Anybody up for doing that? There's a how-to 
on the bottom of the etherpad and for what to screenshot - take a few of the 
big features... I have made a few screenshots, get them below:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/29347181/send%20later.png

I think the most important screenshot missing is a full, clean desktop 
immediately after login. With the usual 'default artwork, 1280x720 
resolution'. Another nice screenshot would be the battery applet in action, 
showing more than one battery. And one of KStars or one of the other edu apps, 
Marble maybe, or such...


Hugs,
Jos
