Screenshots

• "Alt + 1" key combination (on XOs)
• post-processing with standard laptops and your tools of choice (Paint.Net (Windows) for me)
• bring your XOs loaded with the latest 11.3.0 development builds since that's the easiest way to get Sugar 0.94
• investigate whether using the advanced screenshot hack is a viable alternative

Ideas

• keep localization in mind (see the corresponding thread from early October on Sugar-Devel, etc.
