I just created a couple more screencasts. Since they are intended more
for a general audience than for existing LyX users, I copied the
screencasts page from wiki.lyx.org to here, on the main LyX site:
http://www.lyx.org/Screencasts
I think this is an improvement, since a graphic designer I spoke with
said it is a bit jarring to click on a link from the main site that says
"screencasts" and to be taken to a different site with a totally
different look and feel.
Maybe if more screencasts are made as tutorials to LyX users, then we
should have two screencast pages, one for visitors to the site who want
to check out a demo of what LyX is like, and one for existing LyX users
who want to learn specific features. However, as a temporary measure, to
avoid redundancy, maybe the page http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Screencasts
should be removed. Any thoughts?
Hi Rex, sorry for answering late.
I notice that the page above is now redirected to VisualTour, which is ok
with me.
As for the wiki page, it fills a different role. The web pages are the
"official" pages, i.e. we should be ensure that they're accurate and of
some reasonable quality. The wiki pages on the other hand are there to
allow non-developers to contribute directly.
So, I think we should keep the wiki page, and link to it from the official
page.
Finally, I think it's a neat idea to separate between "introductory"
screencasts and "advanced" screencasts. If they're in two different pages,
or just under different headings doesn't matter that much to me.
