Yes. I would even go one step further. As the NA-EN DVD is being 
developed, the LO membership (as well as the SC) has been keeping a 
close eye on its make-up and this is why there has not been any movement 
on creating an EN DVD. I personally think that most of the work done on 
the NA-EN DVD could seed an EN DVD project. Not to mention, hoping the 
NA-EN DVD creators would move on the helping out with the EN DVD project.

I also believe the NA-ES DVD could also help seed an ES-DVD such as the 
NA-EN DVD. Maybe also the NA-FR DVD.

Its not a matter of patting ourselves (in particular Tim and yourself) 
on the back for a job well-done, but realizing that the NA-EN DVD work 
is really well done and an asset to the LibreOffice project.

We should also credit the DE-DVD project for seeding our NA-DVD project. 
The DE-DVD group have been quite instrumental at giving us a template 
for our DVD version.

So congrats to the DE and NA groups for the work done and acting as 
templates for the next native language DVD's.

So, sure, we can start the EN DVD with our material and hope to have a 
larger sampling of EN membership helping out.

Cheers

Marc
