[ubuntu-art] Nice article on making nicer screencasts
Smashing Magazine has an excellent article (as usual) called Most Common Mistakes in Screencasting: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/12/09/most-common-mistakes-in-screencasting/ Probably as good a time as any to kick off a discussion about screencasts in Ubuntu. I find they are generally pretty low quality. They work, and it's awesome that people make them in the first place, but they aren't as nice to watch (or, therefore, as useful) as they could be. There are probably many ways we can help people improve them. Doing so could bring wonderful things for Ubuntu's brand and user experience. Any opinions on what the problems are and how / if they can be solved? Are there any current efforts in that territory?
