I did not know that there was any one else working on a English version 
DVD.  I would like to talk to the "North American Team" about what can 
or should be done for just a DVD of LibreOffice.

I am working on making an English-Only DVD for LibreOffice [at least for 
my area].  I have the 32 and 64 bit DEB and RPM installs, plus both Mac 
installs,  along with Windows.  I added en-US, en-GB, and en-ZA language 
and help packs.  Since my documents, templates, and other stuff is in 
English, I did not add any other language packs to this disc.

I have a folder with many different templates, one with clipart and 
images. and one with extensions.  I want to go over my selections for 
many of the clipart, extensions, and templates, to decide which ones I 
really want to have on this DVD.

The documentation folder is as follows:
0100-LibreOffice--Getting-Started
0100-OpenOffice--Getting-Started
0200-LibreOffice--Writer-Guide--word-processor
0200-OpenOffice--Writer-Guide--word-processor
0300-OpenOffice--Calc-Guide--spreadsheet
0400-OpenOffice--Draw-Guide--drawing-package
0500-OpenOffice--Impress-Guide--presentation
0800-OpenOffice--Math-Guide--equation-editor

plus a folder of some Base documents, plus a few other PDFs that have 
documents.  I did figure on having a script saying that LO writers were 
also OOo writers and  until LO documents get finished, OOo's version 
will work for now.

I want to create some HTML document[s] that will help users install the 
packages for their platforms.  I do not know much about Mac or RPM 
installs, so I will need help with that part.  I would be nice to have 
some detailed walk-though instructions for installation, such as 
installing a JRE before you install LibreOffice.  I have the latest one 
in the Windows folder.

The label you made for your discs are nice, but I do not have a ink-jet 
printer that prints directly onto the media.  I found that paper labels 
tend to bubble up after a period of time making the disc unusable [not 
safe to use in the reader].  I do use Light-Scribe but it is a long 
process to burn a monochrome label on a disc [16 to 25 minutes per disc 
for any good label].

As for going from the current version 3.3.0 to 3.3.1 or beyond, I just 
need to download the up-to-date installs and any changes to the help and 
language packs, the place them in the proper folder.  As more of the 
documentation gets done, I will add it as I find it available.

It would be nice to get farther along with this project, but with my 
injuries, etc., I cannot spend much time in front of my desktop doing 
all the things I want to do.  I hope to make the basic HTML file in the 
next few days.  I will be re-looking at all of the extensions available 
and decide what I want to include and make sure there is text with each 
one describing each one.  Then there is the templates and such.  I will 
have to make hard decisions on which to use and which are not going to 
be needed by those that will get the discs.  What I want and need may 
not be useful to others.
