Thank you very much!! I would ask you hold off a couple of weeks
though so that we have time to make the final changes? I want to make
sure I've got correct licenses listed for all the content, that people
from related projects are happy etc :D Plus, the guys over at Lafkon
haven't quite got the final cover art finished yet...so we have a few
more loose ends to tie up.

Sounds like an interesting organisation - I'll take a look at the site
in a minute.

I'd be more than happy to send you a copy - I'll be including cover
art files as well in case you wanted to print them off :D I didn't
realise copying an unencrypted DVD was a violation of the DMCA? Over
here in Europe we've got an easy life - at least as I understand it -
but I want to make sure things like that don't take hold here!

Thank you very much for your kind words!! I hope you'll like it when I
send it over...let me know if you have any other questions and I'll do
my best to get back to you with some good answers!

Yours,

Jon
