Jim, 

Ok, sounds good :)  Let's try to setup some goals for the CD
documentation section: 

1.  A short description of each application with screenshots.  I would
suggest doing it a bog-standard HTML, so that i can be easily integrated
with the installer later. 

2.  Install guidance.  Many of the installers are very straight forward,
but many users might still appreciate to see some shots of the process,
so that they know what to expect.  Even more importantly is the
Un-install help.  

3.  Open Source background information.  This is where we convert 
people :)  There is lots of good stuff written on this topic, so I would
think it's mostly a question of compiling and in some cases getting
permission from the original authors.  This may also work for #1 and #2
to some degree. 

Any others? 

I would suggest putting an option in the installer, whereby one could
install all the documentation from the CD onto the HD, so that it can be
viewed without the CD, and viewed more quickly. 

Some of the documentation generated here would also go on theopencd.com
