I was going to be working on a few pages, but I can concentrate on 
making a standard for the PDF. I could do a design (the possibility of 
which you had mentioned in an earlier post) and concentrate on 
optimizing any graphics (which would mean authors could just make the 
screenshots and leave the optimizing/cropping/editing of graphics to one 
person making the PDF). It may be better to set up a procedure and 
standard for using a graphics program like GiMP or Photoshop to optimize 
the graphics before making the PDF. There could be two different 
graphics standards, one for the online HTML documentation and a smaller 
downloadable PDF, and one for print and a CD-based PDF. I volunteer to 
work on the design and standards, if you want to go that route.
