TODO
- Plan out meetings to be held at regular internals
- Choose a nice name for the spin
- Create a second disc with service packs with anything extra (cant be put into spins)
- Docs on how to use the second disc
- Look for ebooks in public domain. Create a few, if required, which should appeal the kids. Use animation/graphics to make it interesting.
- Talk to Design team to create a few wallpapers and themes more suitable for kids.
