I agree this is something very much worth doing. I've not been much into YouTube until very recently, so I didn't even know there was a way to have an official page with videos organised into topics. I'm not volunteering to work on one for TDF/LO, being overextended already, but it would certainly be great if someone (or a group) would do so.
Several people have expressed interest through the Docs list about creating how-to videos, and we definitely need them, but I agree we also need some "professional" introductory videos. Drew Jensen has done some good stuff; I'm not sure it's what you have in mind, but it's well done. --Jean On Sat, Jun 9, 2012 at 10:40 PM, webmaster-Kracked_P_P <[email protected]> wrote: > > /[ OOOOPS I sent the email using the wrong address. ]/ > > Well, I just wanted to add that when I searched for "about LibreOffice", the > first video shown was dated May 2011 and was not "professional".
