Yes. We want to use free formats and formats supported by a stock 
installation of Fedora would be useful but if you are doing say a cast 
on migration for Windows users then a proprietary format might be 
acceptable. I would like to hear more opinions on that.

I dont particularly care about the tools being used to produce the 
screencasts as long as the result is viewable on Fedora. Of course if it 
can be done using software provided within Fedora itself thats a 
advantage.  The audience is as wide as users not used to computers or 
people involved with other platforms or a different distribution of 
Linux.  Its not a comparison. Merely a show of what would be interesting 
in particular but not limited to client users
