That's a really good idea. Putting it on DVD means you can include
guides for connecting to the internet etc. too (which would be
rendered pretty useless by a duff connection).  Some people are
probably more comfortable watching a guide than using wikis/forums
etc. (i.e. less computer literate).

Do we need guidelines for consistency or just let them evolve with practise?
