Hi Mike, I think this is a great initiative and something I've brought up in the past. I've been meaning to make some of these myself.
I think we need people in these videos explaining how to use different office software features, they don't even have to be LibreOffice specific. Kids are brought up on phones and tablets these days, so actual computer literacy is quite low. I was never taught the specifics of using office software and I imagine that hasn't changed. So we can just reiterate all the basic spreadsheet and word processor tips and tricks that have a wow factor to anyone that has never seen it before. I might make some to share with people for review to help get things going.
