Perhaps I should have emphasized the word "about" in "about ready" :-)

This morning I saw a simpler way.  The slides will slides in
leo/html/screen-shots.  In other words, we will assume
leo/html/screen-shots *is* part of the trunk, even though it isn't.
After all new slides are added, I'll simply copy this screen-shots
folder to the official leo-slides repository. A one-line script will
make this foolproof.

With this scheme, all paths in .. image:: directives can be relative
to the source file. See http://sphinx.pocoo.org/rest.html#images.

I'll update @button screen-shot accordingly.  This script should also
append the reference directly to the end of the slide-node (after
checking that the reference does not already exist).  Experience with
creating a dozen or so slides yesterday shows that such "minor"
conveniences become quite important.

Yes.  The important thing now is to get something that works fairly
well, and then produce dozens or even hundreds of slides.  Imo,
well-done slides, modeled after Joe Orr's excellent work, have the
best chance of making clear to people what Leo is all about.
