Hi there,

thanks a lot for adding the instructions to
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Help_Activity_refresh#Images, much appreciated.

As for the width of the screenshots we chose the 800px wide because that
works well for consumption on the XOs (as it leaves plenty of space for a
menu, etc.).

I see little value in keeping the 1200px wide version (with the exception
of reducing one step in the image work) as we can't count on having the
manpower to do extensive post-processing, resizing of all images, funky
exporting, etc. once everyone leaves here in just over 48 hours...

Christoph
