count me in, too,
as I am another "media- focused " Squeaker, who teaches Squeak,
gives presentations about Squeak, and also already sometimes
only _use_ Squeak to present something else.

A suggestion:

- We, the "Media-Squeakers", want a main full-blown, has everything 
image.
So if _we_ put an [ENH] in front of our subjects, we want to have it in 
the
full-blown image. As an example, I sent a changeset, with which you 
could easily
create "Polygon-Traces" of your "Drive a car-car" and I prefixed it with
[ENH], as I thought this reasonably improved a very specific part of 
the current
full-blown image.

Maybe we have a naming-problem here, and something like 
[ENH][Fullblown(*)]
/ (...) / [ENH][Core] could help us to ease the harvesting-process?

(*)There was a naming discussion, I can't remember the actual official 
word for
"fullblown", please substitute with "carnival" etc.)
Maybe we just should call it "Media" ?
