i also was quite skeptical when i first read about the proposal by robert. but i also notice that the are many people loving the video tutorial done by riku... i don't know exactly how robert wants implement his quicktorials but i seem to recall that he wanted to have very short videos (about 30 seconds) and very focused on one single task. what i think could work is a workflow like this: * you go to a menu item * you press shift+F1 while the menu is open (or press shift+F1 whild a window/dialog is open...) * a sidebar is shown with a list of quicktorials matching the tags related to the current context * you can watch the quicktorials in the sidebar the tags and the quicktorials are not installed on the user's computer but are requested via http from the server. (well, i think that we should allow to install them locally, too...) ciao a.l.e
