Hi Alan I am going to ask Kat to call you to go through the options here. I think it would be great to link to the screencasts at launch (or sooner) so that people not moved to download can see what the fuss is all about.
Kat will work with Matt for the best way to present these - I want to link to your site rather then pull all the files over but keeping screencasts as a permanent and prominent linked part of Ubuntu.com is the right thing to do i think. As for messaging 2 I think that I believe we have spoken about before. 1. Dummies Guide to downloading an ISO and burning a CD for Windows user I think it is almost there - http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/Infra_Recorder and http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/Nero But if I don't know what those apps are then it's a little intimidating. 2. What's new in Ubuntu 7.10. Is this in the works? A good overview would answer a lot of questions. gerry Alan Pope wrote: > Hi all, > > On Tue, 2007-10-09 at 19:35 +0100, Mark Shuttleworth wrote: > >> The Screencasts Team are doing amazing work on screencasts for Ubuntu >> Gutsy, and they will launch a "Month of Screencasts" in 8 days.
