Thanks Christian

OK, so we'll have the screenshots done:

* For website use: 1000x750 at 72 dpi for fast loads
* For print ready: 1000x750 at 300 dpi or should we have them done in 
600dpi for higher resolution printing?

We should decide on a size and dpi setting and make note of it on the 
wiki so that we don't have to go over this again at the next version update.

Cheers

Marc
