Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Introduction about me

You might want to look at what the North American Community DVD Project 
is working on.
We took the idea that was started by the German group and modified it 
for the North American region.

Right now we have English-only, Spanish-only [alpha testing], with 
French-only being worked on offline.
We have our primary Windows/Linux/MacOSX DVD plus a Windows-only DVD.

This is the link to the English 3.3.2 DVD testing pages
http://libreoffice-na.us/English/index.html

This is the link to the main portal page where you can look at what it 
being worked on that is being tested online.
http://libreoffice-na.us/

We have the 3.3.2 install version of our DVD[s], and working on a 3.4.x 
DVD as well.


We have the Install files, Documentation, Extensions and Dictionaries, 
Templates, Artwork and Galleries, plus some extra software packages.

This may give you an idea of what can be done for a DVD.  If you want to 
use the same format as we do, which is based off the original DVD style 
from the Germans, we can send you archives of the needed files and 
folders for the CSS and images.

You might want to look at the dictionary list we have.  The large list, 
below the small one, has as many dictionaries I could find.  Since there 
are many languages and dialects in India, I hope there are a few in this 
list that would be helpful for the students of your college.  As far as 
I have been told, or read, there are ways to create simple dictionaries 
from word lists.  So if you need a dictionary for a language/dialect, 
all you need to start is a large enough word list.  There should be 
enough documentation online, somewhere, to give you the information to 
go from that point.

Let me/us know what you think.
