Hi Sebastian,

we've chatted about this on irc - and I very much love the idea. I
wonder if we should split out this particular topic & move it over
to the website list?

http://docs.officeshots.org/ may be a potential starting point -
especially when it comes to document conversion / rendering
fidelity.

Yeah. And for devs & QA people, it would be _very_ handy to have
page thumbnails generated from various versions available, to vet
conversion problems and regressions.

Or provide an email address to send those docs to - more often than
not, a document cleansed thusly will not exhibit the bug anymore. ;)
