[Ambassadors] Fedora Screencasting Project - once again

[Alex Maier]

Pawel,

I like the idea, and I think it is great that you have made the first
step and created a prototype.

I think video tutorials really have potential in teaching less
technical users to perfom basic tasks on their machines and taking the
fear away that you need to use command line all the time if you work
under Linux.

Let's start a list of simple tutorials we need to cover, all in videos
under 3 minutes duration:

- install fedora
- install new software package
- remove package
- configure network (wired)
- confgure network (wireless)
-
-
-

Folks, please help fill in the blanks! :)

When we have the list, Pawel can share his know-how in producing these
demo videos and we can divvy up the work and knock them out one by
one. Just make sure the sound quality is a bit better in the ones we
release.

Cheers,
a
