Hi Dave,

interested; hope that's ok].

Hey Dan,
You mentioned creating video demos for the various components of the hexagonal
architecture. I would be glad to create the video clips once the site is set
up. I would also like to create some video clips of creating applications with
Apache Isis as soon as we have everything in place. I was thinking a series of
clips setting up the eclipse environment and then building one of the simple
examples step-by-step in eclipse.
That'd be a really great contribution if you could do that.
I'm not quite sure of the mechanics of whether those videos would be
hosted in the Isis SVN repo, but I would think that probably wouldn't be
a particularly good idea to upload them.
If you remember I did do some videos on my blog
(http://danhaywood.com/tag/screencast/), which I recorded using Jing
(http://www.techsmith.com/jing/). In fact, I think I bought Jing Pro
($15 or so), which allows upload to YouTube, though I don't remember
actually trying that out. Does seem that YouTube would be the obvious
place for this content to live, assuming there are no Apache guidelines
that say to the contrary. As it happened, though, the place I actually
uploaded my videos too was screencast.com, which is Techsmith's sister
site. So an alternative might be to use that as the place for demos.
As a first pass, then, perhaps you might like to try out Jing / Jing
Pro, and see if you like it. I was toying with purchasing Camtasia
Studio (Jing's big brother), but it's pretty expensive and couldn't
really justify it.

Another even simpler thing that I would like would be to modify the
hexagonal architecture so that it has hyperlinks on it (I think it's
called a hotspot image map). I guess that's easy enough to do with the
appropriate image editing software, but I've never done it myself so
don't know the details.
Cheers
Dan
