Charlie,
I'm in a tricky timezone for coordinating with EU and US (as I live in 
Australia).
However, I'd be very happy to talk with anyone who has ideas on how they 
would like to extend documentation development by leveraging the 
OSGeo-Live DVD [1].

This could include:
* Providing QA for our Quickstarts, which have been written, but not QAed.

* Create a video template, then create videos for all our OSGeo-Live 
projects. I see this being a 5 minute video, which would be largely 
based upon our 5 minute Quickstart.

* Development of a template for more comprehensive project cookbooks, or 
reference material. This would then be followed up with the writing of 
each of these project cookbooks.

* Develop a template for classroom presentation material, then follow 
through with creating this material.
