I'm not sure what screencasts are - if they are video or anything similarly high bandwidth then no. We need to be accessible - not just for screenreaders etc, but for those without broadband. I presume that text is also easier to translate. I personally would like web pages I can save and refer back to. This means that there should be an option to have it all on one page for easy access - the same text spread onto several pages is harder to deal with as the links go to online docs rather than the copy on your harddrive. How to file a bug would be useful. How to file a support request. How to use Rosetta. What do people generaly use launchpad for?
