An intro video would be great! From the perspective of potential new users, I think it would be 
really appealing to have a video intro and welcome message that we promote in a very visible 
location or locations.

In fact, in wireframes I put together for the future LibO homepage, I suggested a video of this 
type, right next to the download button. (I have attached the wireframe to the wiki as an ODG, but 
I'll make a PNG and put it in the page for easy viewing momentarily: 
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Website/Site_IA_and_Wireframes )

Go for it!
