I've come across this, but didn't think to give any input. From now, count me in. I hope others will think about it, too, because the potential of the work that could be done here's so far untapped, IMHO. > In addition we need people to think up more screencasts to make. Of course > making them is a priority too :) I did mention looking at the forums to get an idea for what people might want to know about and what could be simplified through a screencast. It ain't exactly science, but it's one of the best sources we've got as far as I can see. > > I'm not too sure about the different ways of bringing this about, but > > I'm sold on the idea that these screencasts are important enough to > > deserve more of my time at least, if what I'm hopeless at can be done by > > other people.

My guess is that once we start getting some more projects underway, the traffic for a list would gradually take care of itself. Maybe it's a chicken and egg thing? > I really appreciate your interest in this project. I value peoples feedback. Not at all. I'm surprised that more people on this list haven't shown an interest. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
