jdd,
Thanks! I took a look at it, and it seems to be one of the things I
expected--instructions on how to download distribution specific
application packages and burn them to a disk, to take around to other
(presumably offline) installations of the same distribution and install
the packages there.
As such (and speaking as not a "member" of TLDP), I see no reason it
should not be included in the documentation on the TLDP website.
(In other words, I think it should be included--presumably starting on
the wiki so others have a chance to comment or improve on it.)
BTW, I'm not sure how the email got the subject "Re: [discuss] open
office as source" as it seems rather misleading. I'll try to change
the subject, you'll see it above

Just a minor point: The American expression would be more likely to use
the word "attach" instead of "join"--like: "I have attached it for you"

I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I created a video
instead.--with apologies to Cicero, et.al.
