Drew, do you know on your Wiki User page[s] that list what has been 
completed for the DVD, your links for the pamphlet and the insert are 
either wrong or just way out of date.

I miss the module icons on the above PDF [BSD pamphlet] for Writer, 
Calc, etc., etc..

On page 1 bottom of middle column
Why did you make LibreOffice -->  Libre in green and Office in black?

Is the link below that shadowed in black?  Whatever it has look nice 
there.  Stands out more than "flat" green.

Column 1
You have Linux with RPM and DEB under it, but how about Mac OSX having 
Intel [or x86] and PPC under it?

top of the column you do not have the "." list indented, but the second 
page you have them indented.
Should it be indented like the other lists?

For "Mac OS X", I know that form might be more correct, but for some 
reason, Mac OSX looks better to me.

Should Gnu/Linux be GNU/Linux?  Someone might wonder what GNU means.  I 
keep forgetting with it stands for, except it is not Unix but Linux.  
"an ongoing migration to GNU Make as a first step to more reliable 
cross-compilations from Linux to Windows ."  This statement brings up 
the issue that people may want to know what the "GNU Make" means and why 
this is true.  I do not know off hand myself.  Could "Linux to Windows" 
include "Linux to Windows and Mac OSX"?  LibreOffice does support Mac 
OSX and that statement could be taken as there are no "reliable" 
compilations for Mac's OS.

For the source code being available so people can compile it to BSD 
platforms, could it be "BSD and other platforms"? I just wish there was 
some way that that statement would not make some people thing that LO 
did not want to bother with any other platforms since they were beneath 
our "social class" if it was talking about people and not platforms.  I 
use to be the "devil's advocate" in a lot of discussions in college and 
work since someone had to think that way so that the "other side" of the 
issues and problems would be brought up and worked on before the 
"public" thought of these questions.

I am glad you stated LibreOffice Applications instead of "modules" but 
some people would wonder if you could install Writer alone like MSO Word 
could in installed without the rest of the suite.  But, that would make 
the software package much larger in size.
