Outstanding questions:

Archive – where does the archive go, and what are the permissions?
Twitter – does the tweet link to the slide, or the presentation?
Freemium – what are the limitations, and can one load the system up with content and then pay later?
All of these are probably easily answered by the community! 🙂
