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. > Adding arrows, callouts, etc. to the screenshot bitmaps with a vector based > drawing system would make it easy to update the screen shots when all that's > changed is the end position of the arrows.

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.
