Given that my philosophy is not to hassle maintainers for anything not directly related to code (and that in fact I tend to get pissy when I hear about anyone hassling maintainers for any non-code reason), yes, it is fairly far out of line with what I had in mind. A plethora of demos (one per module?) that no one watches doesn't really do anyone any good; you need a small number (really, IMHO, one good/longish one, potentially a couple 'learn more...' for complex/important issues) of videos, done with the same style, tone, pacing, etc., and such throughout. That probably means a few core volunteers who step up to do it, after figuring out what is important and scripting it out. OTOH, in the more-scattered-but-JFDI approach, there is already someone attempting to do a module-by-module approach here: http://linuxlife.myeburg.net/ Luis -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
