The e4 SDK download should have everything (albeit not named "all in
one"). If there is some piece that is missing (not including example
projects), please open a bug.

I believe that's on the plan but I don't think anyone on the UI team
is on it at the moment. I suggest harassing on the bug (if there is
one) and bringing it up on the meeting tomorrow.

Please open a bug about this.

I'm not familiar with this one though I haven't opened the photo demo
much lately.

I guess that might've been part of the work for bug 295605? I'll be
making a pass of the instructions for the photo demo tomorrow.
