Let's not look at a "DVD" initially per se' - but rather let's subdivide
the lists that people provide into a hierarchy which at some point will
be apportioned to the DVD. I really think they'll be more than 1 single
DVD of content available. Having a centralized (initially private) ftp
site available with a mailing list to coordinate among the group would
be good.
At some point it might also be a good idea to have different
coordinators for different sections of the hierarchy that would be
responsible for inspecting the files and moving them into the "OK"
directory.

I'd recommend that the HTML formatting of the DVD be looked at as a
concurrent project. I think the actual archiving is more valuable than
the HTMLizing of stuff. Having a coordinator for each hierarchy will
help avoid "double-work" htmlizing lists.
