Marc is the one that is dealing with the wiki page.  He was the one how 
placed it there, and he is the one who is maintaining it for the 
project.  I most likely could do it myself, but right now it is his 
"bailiwick".  Having one person responsible for the text of the wiki 
page works fine for me.

Actually, I never dealt with modifying wiki pages before.  Never needed 
to do it.  I could do the account creation, etc., and deal with the 
editing of the page.  For now, Marc is doing it for us.

We can see what he thinks about this.

Well I am now fixing the things that need fixing, with respect to the 
folder and file names and placement.  I misspelled "extension" in the 
extension folder.  Had to correct that.  I started with a shorter 
dictionary list, then added the long one.  I removed the need for the 
two lists and removed the files/folders of the smaller one.  I found a 
few files that needed to be moved to "better" folders.  Much is things 
that just effects the links and not the content.  I found some links 
still not pointing to the proper places [i.e. to the web instead to the 
disc].  All this work did not affect the content.

You suggestion on the content change for the Info/index.html page has 
been added.  As the pages are edited, the content will be "locked" 
except for any typos that creep into the mix.

The "This "demo" version of the DVD project will..." text on that page 
will be removed for the DVD ISO.

The Install page has a few "issues" that can be worked on to make it 
"better", like a JAVA homepage link, as well as other simple things.

The Module page, with Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Base, and Math pages 
need to be edited for content and grammar issues.

Extensions could use a final going over.  Same for Templates, 
Documentation, and Artwork.  Extras page?  should there be anything 
added to that page?  There are some formatting "issues" needed to be 
looked into.

So as for getting the content "locked", there is a few things needed to 
be gone over.  Most of it is the grammar and phrasing, with some format 
and alignment editing.  When that is done for each page where we are in 
agreement with the content/formatting/etc., then we can "lock down" that 
page.

What is the largest file size would you like for an archived [.zip or 
such] to be available for you to download as a package?  I was thinking 
when the folder content is "locked", I could archive each and place them 
online for each of our team members to download and unarchive to its 
specific folder placement.  The only folders that will need "subfolder" 
archives, are the Install file folders for both LibreOffice and the Extras.

This way you can build your own copy of the DVD and burn it to a DVD for 
your own offline testing.
