  Hi gnome-doc-list,



I am working on a video proposal for a video about the documentation we
provide in GNOME. The goal is to increase awareness of GNOME's
documentation efforts and what uses it has. The video will be in
similar style to the release video, except shorter, working as a
spotlight video. I plan to cover Help for users, the Developer Center
and the Sysadmin Guide. A manuscript for the video can be found below:

If you have other suggestions/opinions on the content, feel free to
share them. You can also catch me on GimpNet under the nickname
"bastianilso".



I look forward to hear from you all,



-Bastian

This is interesting. Thanks for putting this together.



One comment is that we try to avoid just describing features. We try to
help users complete specific tasks, typically answering like, "How do I
. . . ?".  We also occasionally address complex concepts (answering
questions like "What is . . . ?") in our documentation.



I mention this so that you might be able to rewrite portions like,
"Combined you have a library of knowledge and tools to get you up to
date with the latest happenings" to something that reflects the user's
goal of using that library of knowledge and tools to build and maintain
applications.



Where do you plan to display the video?  (Just curious).



Thanks again!



Jim
