Rather than explaining what you were trying to do and what the sources are at the front, perhaps you should explain what it is now that it's finished, in plain English (and have all the other details on seperate pages).

That's what's made this thread fascinating for me.  When I first read the NFO I was puzzled and amused.  The former because the NFO didn't really tell my anything.  Amused because I couldn't even read it until I ran an Emacs macro to replace each space with nothing (and then space to the right so's to keep one space where there had been two).  Every character was followed by a space.  Since the information on the web site is readable, I assume that the incompatibility was somehow mine.

But I didn't download it.  Why download eight gigs when I have NO idea what it is or what it's for?  It was only when I read Moth3r's comments that I decided it was worth a try.  And I haven't been disappointed.  It is an amazing piece of work.  Not sure if I've watched every part of it, because I often dive into a random chapter and watch for a while, but it is fun.

I'd agree that the web site could be more accessible.  If people know what the project IS then they may decide to download it.

And I'd love to read material that expands on the information from "about this disc" on the main menu.  What's the history, how the project morphed from one thing to another, whether you think it's complete or merely released into the wild.

It's a project of which to be proud.
