One possibility is after doing a discussion amonst the core developers about how to do the tree-wide cleanup, you could also do a presentation during the tech sessions about how not to screw up new users of the freezer. Although we probably don't have the resources to get a profession video made of tech talk session for which the goal is broad dissemination of information (although if some company wants to sponsor such a thing, or if someone wants to volunteer to do the video taping where the presenter has given consent, please contact the me or the program committee), I suspect getting an audio recording, which plus the slides could easily get turned into something that could be uploaded to You Tube, wouldn't be that hard. - Ted
