Some brief info unearthed so far:
Press release went out 5th November 1984 from Philips announcing the player;
how close this was to the BBC themselves announcing the project, I don't know.
Has anyone else got the "Eight steps to Domesday" sheet? It reads like a
design-phase brainstorming session rather than a public document!
Unfortunately, it's not dated...
The Community Disc was initially referred to as the "Local Disc", it would
seem. (This from the "Domesday Information Pack", March 1985)
... more soon :)
cheers
