[Fedora-ambassadors-list] Fedora Tour

[Rahul Sundaram]

Hi

What we have now is a bunch of screenshots and videos 
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tours/FedoraCore5) and a small overview 
in the release notes 
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/OverView). We need to revamp 
the tour to be a more descriptive and appealing overview of Fedora Core 
5 at a glance by combining these efforts and including your own magic 
finishing touches. You can include screencasts as documented in  
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ScreenCasting. You got about 15 days or so 
for the Fedora Core 5 Launch.

Anyone wants to take a grab at this?

Better still, make a short flash demo out of it--Fedora is supposed to
support Flash out of the box, isn't it?

We got this bug filed against the Tour:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=183250

The point is, any tours should only show a desktop that came from Core.
Extras is enabled but not as clear to new users, so we would be showing
an application they can't "find" in the Core install, which leads to a
loss of credibility in our tour.

If we have guidelines on this written down already, then link to it from 
the tours page for reference. I only used a default desktop for the 
screenshots I uploaded but others might not have followed the same rules.

Well, alternatively, you could frame it as the 'Fedora Tour',
and include other Fedora software that way.

Ya but we want two different things. A general Fedora tour for everyone 
and a release specific tour for users who want to know what has changed. 
The latter can be thought of a more non technical version of the release 
notes.
