[The Kiaora CD|http://kiaoracd.org.nz/] is [BruceKingsbury]'s own CD of Free Software for Windows, similar to [TheOpenCD] or [GnuWinII], since neither of these two CD's contained exactly the software I usually want to install.
Version 0.0.0 was a mess, version 0.0.1 was marginally better, 0.0.3 was almost OK. Version 0.0.5 included Vidomi which is not completely free..! ([GnuWinII] appear to have made the same mistake.)
-[Version ..6|http://kiaoracd.org.nz/] is the current one.
[007|http://zcat.meta.net.nz/kiaora/] is due to be
released on Oct 31. I was hanging out for [OOo2|http://openoffice.org]

TODO;
** The CD is _still_ web-page based, but then so are most cover CD's so I've decided this is not such a bad thing. I really do want a proper CD browser eventually.
-** Finally figured out how to repackage OOo so that it installs itself using a 7zip SFX archive. And since
OOo2 this hack is no longer necessary.
+** Finally figured out how to repackage OOo so that it installs itself using a 7zip SFX archive, but as of
OOo2 this hack is no longer necessary.
** BrianKemp has repackaged [TuxRacer|http://tuxracer.sourceforge.net/] and [Really Slick Screensavers|http://www.reallyslick.com/] for me using the [Spoon Installer|http://sourceforge.net/projects/spoon-installer/]
** I would really like to do a kiwi version of the TuxPaint stamps but it's a lot of work. Perhaps someone else at WLUG could look into this. We must keep ahead of [The Australians|http://sourceforge.net/projects/tuxpaint-au/]. One of the things that most put me off was an IntellectualProperty issue.. I'm not sure that I'm allowed to take a photo of Buzzy Bee and release it under a CreativeCommons Licence, since the Buzzy Bee likeness is a trademark. I should have bought this up at the IP meeting :(
-** I'm supposed to be writing an article for an Australian Open Source mag. BrianKemp is working on reviews and screenshots.
