I remembered this RFE that I made some time ago:
RFE: Add desktop folder with examples of what "fedora thing" can do :)
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=315171

Could this screencast project merge with that so that it becomes a
Fedora 10 feature? If there is little space on the Live CD on the DVD
there could be free space, right? On Live CD there could be just one
or two videos and the rest could be URL's to online videos (fedoratv?)
or a script that setup Miro with the right rss channel.


Cheers,
Valent.
