We have the potential of having a good place of advertising and 
marketing information about LibreOffice and what is on the DVD that the 
users can get out of this package.  You have seen what movie DVDs have 
for "chapter" and other information in their inserts.  When we give out 
the DVD to people at events, etc., an insert can give the user as much 
information about why they should use the package as we can fit on the 
pages or pages of the insert.  Also, this is where we would have the 
needed information for how to use the DVD, i.e. own the pages with their 
default browser [IE or Firefox].  Also there would be some information 
on how to use the disc.  What is on the disc.  How to browser the 
files/folders without using the HTML pages and installing LibreOffice 
directly from the disc without needing to use the browser.

I know people on this list would know how to do this, but there will be 
a lot of users of this disc that would not know how to use the disc and 
install the software.  The more instructions we can give the user, the 
better.  The more information we can provide about the disc and 
LibreOffice without the user needing to load it into a computer, the 
better.

I see someone like Drew handing out a the DVD at an event.  When the 
person gets a few minutes, he/she would open the case, and then read the 
insert.  Then they will have a better idea for what the DVD is all about 
and why LibreOffice would be a good product for them to use.  Without 
the insert page[s], there will not have much space on the cover to give 
them all the information needed to convince them to use LibreOffice 
instead of MSO.  Then there are the people who will not remember what is 
told to them at such events, and when they get home or work, they will 
need to have some documentation they can read, without using a computer, 
to give them the information that would help remind them why they were 
given the disc and why they took it form the presenter.

Paper and B&W ink/toner is cheap.  But it could be a good tool to get 
more people to actually take the DVD out of the case and into their 
computers.  Then, with that insert, the DVD could go to someone who was 
not at the event and tel that person/people what LibreOffice is all about.

We could have a handout disc without an insert, but it would be much 
better having it.

1] Intro to what LibreOffice is and why you should try it.
2] How to use the DVD  [I had one lady ask me if it would play on her TV]
3] What is on the DVD - the Bonus Material above and beyond the install 
files
4] and anything else we can think of that could/should be in it.
