Your repodata error is due to a bad URL, device is to be replaced with 
the device node, e.g. cdrom://hdd://
however, this isn't neccessary now. All you need to do is use 
/path/to/dvdrom

I'll run this down really quick, without diving into the codebase and 
posting it, as users can check it out of CVS if they wish.
Kadischi does simple checks to make sure your repository path exists, 
along with it's required directories, which
are Fedora/{base,RPMS}, and makes certain your destination file is ok.
Kadischi will spawn Anaconda passing the method, and rootpath along with 
any other options you give
which soon should be passed along to Anaconda(This is in the TODO in 
Kadischi/Schedule).
If the method isn't an FTP or HTTP repository source, it formats it 
nicely for Anaconda as nfs://path/to/repo

Optical and local media, HTTP, and FTP repositories can be used. This 
pretty much covers alot of standard methods for repository source.

Anaconda of course does it's required checks and takes the neccessary 
steps to complete the installation.
Kadischi then does the required steps to make an ISO.
That is the basis of Kadischi's operation.

Kadischi is essentially going to become more integrated with Anaconda.
I don't think the presentation of patching and etc etc is neccessary 
either and I'll tell yuo why.
What is in CVS now, is absolutely subject to change.
Kadischi is going to have alot of work done to/with it to get it usable, 
as Jeremy stated, not needing to know anything
but how to do basic installation procedures. There isn't a need for 
presentations on patches.

What I think would benefit the project if a presentation is made, would 
be to present:
1) The running of Kadischi
2) The product of Kadischi
