Screencasts will be good and istanbul is the best tool for it. I would
suggest Theora/Ogg format using strictly (istanbul uses same). Topics
can be decided on wiki and anyone interested can take the
responsibility. But the main question is 'where to upload?'

Sorry for not updating on this for long time. I evaluated aptoncd. The
problem with the program is that it just makes an apt-get usable CD
from packages in apt cache. There is no guarantee that all
dependencies will be included on CD if some of the dependencies were
already installed and cache was cleaned. I have better approach in my
mind where we can make use of G0SUB's aptoffline tool. Will discuss
this in separate thread.
