We could use my box as a demo machine I suppose. I could put off doing etc-update on my box until the day so we can show this.
I wonder if you have suggested too many topics Nick? There could be a risk of taking on too much in one session. I have got by so far without knowing anything about etcat, qpkg or dispatch-conf. I do not use ufed and most home users may not use distcc. Other subjects are essential though IMHO.

Who is going to do this and prepare a set of materials? I will do some of it, and present if necessary, but help will be needed. My suggestion is to use the same xml schema as the gentoo documentation on their site, and possibly submit it to them afterwards, if its deemed good enough. Helpers/contributors?
