Definitely. Once we come up with a standard set of shots, it would be
really cool to have an online virtual tour of the entire interface. Plenty
of the raw material should already be in the tree:
abi/shots/*
In fact, if someone's really ambitious with their PHP skills, it'd be cool to
set up quick overview tours of the user interface on the website -- think
marketing, rather than documentation -- with a screen shot and a one or two
sentence teaser on each page:
+---------------------------------+

The XXX dialog allows you to control YYYY.
At the beginning of the tour, you'd choose your platform, and could see the
entire interface for that platform by just running through the tour.
However, to emphasize how similar our UI is across platforms, it'd be really
cool to also include that same "Platform" combo somewhere on each page of
the tour. Then, changing the combo would reload the same page with the
screenshot from another platform.
I suspect it's not much content work -- mostly CGI/PHP hacking to take
advantage of the abi/shots directory.
