Ya, manjusha is a good host - I can verify that. This
can  revive an old idea of Manjushas- why not have a
indic-dev development workshop along with this
tutorial (i.e. if we have thought of somethings to
work on). Yes, I think it is pretty important to
explore presentation techniques using TeX (so teaching
pdflatex/pdfscreen). 
 So-->
  1) Explain the life-cycle and incarnations of TeX
documents (i.e. interconvertibilities to various open
standards) , which is what I find fascinating about
TeX.
 2) offer it as a complete solution - typesetting,
e-publishing, presentations. unfortunately, I am not
sure if ConTeXt can be managed here, otherwise it can
be pretty good and I'll be rather keen to learn it.
 3) What CD is being planned? I'll repeat the
suggestion of multi-platform TeXLive (that should be 2
CDs of TL8, when available, any reports?) modified to
Manjusha's needs (i.e. additional goodies added, if
any because most inluding Winshell, TeXNiccenter are
bundleed).
