I think in order to do this and rebrand it as a demo kit, you need to make new graphics for:1) boot screen 2) about app 3) installer app 4) desktop backgroundHere's an archive containing blank images of the above with the same dimensions as the ones used in Haiku...http://www.haikuware.com/downloads/registered/ haiku_demokit_artwork.zipWould be nice if someone graphically gifted (unlike myself) would use them to come up with some demo kit artwork...On Mon, Jun 23, 2008 at 8:08 PM, Lawrence Debow <led@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: if BeOS is preferred platform I could likely get it running under Windows.

I would be very interested in doing this if the tools to be used are fairly user friendly, et alI think you largely qualify for the job :- creating a list of coherent people files (maybe with funny names, from different countries, organized in groups...) require only the People application and some imagination - creating some mails related to some of those people should only require BeMail (and still some imagination).- ZipOMatic should do the packaging stuff for nowAdding attributes to multimedia files for titles, artists,... may require some extra tools from bebits.But tools should remain user friendly as we want to show key features of Haiku to "standard" users. If not, we probably miss our goals (http://www.haiku-os.org/about or 1 below) and that should be corrected as soon as possible :-)Welcome on board !
