Example data is useful in a lot more (promo) places:
* screenshots (app documentation, website gallery)
* live cds (ever watched a novice try out a live cd? it's close to useless 
without example data, like trying a car without fuel)

And perhaps the data should be coupled with the personas (from usability), so 
there could be different profiles (kid, secretary, hacker, whatever personas 
there are, no idea)

Anyone from the documentation team here, who could tell what data you use for 
screenshots and where it is located? If the data could be collected together 
with the documentation team there would be even localized versions 
available :)

Regards
Friedrich

PS: Yes, I already added this to the watson page in the wiki ;)
