The DVD Index has been reorganized as of 17 Dec 2011

Nothing has been removed! All the topic links have been preserved, although many of them have been moved around and some have ended up in the "misc" section. The biggest change is that the DVD audience is now assumed to be a person/group who wants to build one or more of the machines. Thus, the build instructions are now as close to the top as possible; right behind the "thanks yous" and appeals for further support. This is also why the bulk of the content has been moved to a (large) appendix. Anyone who wants to go looking for the CAE analysis or the business plan can do so, but they shouldn't have to search for the machine build instructions. Also, the build instructions have been listed in the order they should probably be built, since all but one of them depend on the existence of the other(s).

Misc: These are topics I couldn't find a good rational for including, but that could just be because I didn't understand what content they represented. In particular the videos seem like they'd be replaced by more up-to-date videos. Power Cube Annotated Fabrication and assembly Drawings – semiprofessional (overcome by the professional drawings) CEB Press Annotated Fabrication and assembly Drawings – take this to a local fabricator (what's the distinction?) Tractor Annotated Fabrication Procedure Drawings – semiprofessional (overcome by professional drawings) Soil Pulverizer Annotated Fabrication and assembly Drawings – semiprofessional (overcome by professional drawings) Global Village Construction Set TED Talk, 2011 (overcome by events, maybe put in appendix) Kickstarter video (overcome by events, maybe put in appendix) Civilization Starter Kit Conclusion (inapplicable title)
