[edit] DVD Publishing

Last updated Feb 18,2012

We are tying up loose ends and publishing hard copies of the first version (v0.01) of the Civilization Starter Kit DVD. While full instructionals on fabrication are almost complete (Tractor fabrication procedure is being finished currently), remaining pieces that are to be added are technical fabrication drawings for the tractor and Power Cube.

This DVD iso will be freely downloadable. We will also make it available for sale to fund further development of the DVD in order to improve our publishing standards. We will do this by recuiting a Civilization Starter Kit DVD Manager to continue the ongoing process of editing and updating content, recruiting contributors, following up with contributors, placing commits in the Open Pario Repository, and publishing future releases of the DVD.
