I think it would be a good idea to use the docbook slides DTD by
Norman Walsh for this, provided that the output is flexible enough.
I plan to convert my slides to this format as a test, and if the
document project approve, this could be put into CVS for coordinated
development.

I suggest that we try to coordinate the efforts -- my slides are
focused on giving a broad overview, and would likely be nicely 
complemented by a more hands-on approach based upon the handbook.

Do you have a reference to your material?
