@RaggedMonk: thanks very much!, yes I wrote those scripts.
In this case I don't think I could do something similar, unfortunately. I've been watching BitCoin from the sidelines but don't feel nearly familiar enough with the whole thing at the moment to a) Feel I have a BitCoin-related message I urgently want to communicate b) Be able to defend my script against any likely criticism leveled against it. Those two things are crucial prerequisites for me to write a good script I think.
So this time the plan was that the enthusiastic experts of bitcoin would be doing the talking--and I'd focus entirely on visualisation.
Tomasz - Since I maintain stuffexists.com, I have a thorough library of talks and materials to draw from. I was at the NY bitcoin conf, and know many prominent members of the community. I can communicate the bitcoin message, and as well am familiar with the standard criticisms that are attempted. I can support you in these areas. Sounds like we have more to discuss. I am currently working full time regular hours, so weekends might be best. Will sync up with you on email.
Everyone else, Please post any contributions for material here so it doesnt get missed in consideration. I appreciate the recent suggestions being made. As well, thank you for posting your pledges, as it is very helpful to know this is supported. As we have more to show, the rest of the donations should arrive. I will keep everyone updated on the status.
