It should definitely have:

  *  Clipart from OpenClipArt.org
  *  Photos from BurningWell.org
  *  Templates from OOExtras.
  *  The ultra-cool user guide being developed at OOoAuthors.

See here:

The guide in that download is for 1.x so don't use it. We're working on 
new ones. The OOoAuthors guides would be a marvelous addition. They are 
very well done. Each chapter is reviewed several times, by several 
different people. And then again by experienced technical editors.

We are actually making several guides. One for each component, and one 
Getting Started guide. The first guide we'll produce will be the Getting 
Started guide. This guide is mean as a first book on OOo. It should be 
done on time for the initial 2.0 release. These are the chapters it has:

Getting Started chapters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   1. What is OpenOffice.org?
   2. Starting OOo
   3. File Management
   4. Menus and Toolbars
   5. Setting up OOo
   6. Upgrading from OOo 1.x
   7. Getting Started with Writer
   8. Getting Started with Calc
   9. Getting Started with Draw 
  10. Getting Started with Impress
  11. Getting Started with Databases
  12. Working with Templates
  13. Working with Styles
  14. Working with the Gallery
  15. FontWork
  16. Getting Started with Macros


You absolutely, positively want to include the GS in your CD. :-)

As other Authors guides are done, you'll probably want to include those 
also.

Cheers,
