Hi Andy, sounds great! IMO, we still need someone from the SC to chime 
in on the discussion and give us the TDF opinion.

Re: graphics ... I know that the design team is working on this, but the 
logo is still a little way in coming. I don't believe that we will have 
a new logo till next version. We will just have to use what is there to 
start off with.

In my mind, it would be great if we could all agree to the same page 
format on our individual websites. This would provide a more familiar 
site to returning users.

I am not sure about the costs, I am a little worried that, especially 
for the US, if we go on a big marketing push, that offering free CD/DVD 
copies may be a little too expensive. I am in Canada so, maybe a little 
less ... although, Novell sent 3 DVD copies of StarOffice to every 
school in the province of Ontario. That would most have likely been in 
the hundreds of copies, if I were to copy this with LO.

BTW, would you know in what packages (envelopes) you were sending these 
out. We could work out these little details on the wiki too. Was the 
postage cost the same or did you have to get the envelope weighed? Was 
it in the general mail system or was it by parcel post or registered 
mail? You could tell us of the process you went through to mail out a 
CD/DVD copy.
