No not really. It's very much a work in progress, while I consider the 
Design near complete (because I have worked and reworked this thing MANY 
times, and even enlisted the help of a friend to help solve the A4 sized 
cut/glue-free issue while taking SEVERAL issues in consideration 
((bleed, margin, legibility, process, single-sided printing, b&w, ease 
of construction, minimal materials, recycling, integrity of Origami 
work, reliable closing "mechanism", secure containment of disc, 
configuration to allow 2 discs, space for explanatory text, space to 
accommodate translation, the tangible reflection of the document symbol, 
the list goes on and on))).

But I've left the content itself VERY raw (lorem-ipsum even) because, 
legal-matters, translation, marketing and tech-specs are not my 
strongest points.
I will leave it to the pro's to nut all that stuff out.

All I know is, and I know this with some certainty, this Design will not 
work with information-overload.
It has to be sparse, not just to be simple, but because I wanted to 
create something that people might want to have, something that is more 
"experience" than "utilitarian".
So like you say, I'm trying to keep it simple! =)
I hope it works!
