Re: [Orgmode] Re: Org-mode screencasts

Wow, Richard. That was sweet. You even have a pleasing "screencaster's voice."

My only thought was along the lines of what one should assume about org-mode viewers. Familiarity with emacs? No knowledge of emacs? I only got into emacs because I found org-mode, so my only thought there is that I might not even have known what "meta" was... I can't recall, but did you clarify meta = alt on Win/Linux and Command on Mac?

Stuff like that might be helpful. Obviously these won't all be done on a Mac and some unfamiliar with it might wonder what the Command and carat symbols are on their own keyboards?

As Erik said -- folding and perhaps adjusting in and out (meta + left/right). Also, it seems that only the meta or control functions show up as keystrokes. For example, I thought you said "M-n s" and "M-n w" to narrow on the tree and then widen the view but I only ever saw one part of that flash on the screen.

Great, great job. Loved it and think this is exactly what Org could use. I have a co-worker who just got emacs and org-mode up on his computer and would love to have something this simple and clear-cut.

Great work, again.

I jumped the gun a bit and decided to put together a video showing the very basics.  It seems overly simple when I re-watch it, but I think it is helpful for those who are unsure how to get started with the basics of Org-mode.

Feedback is welcome, these were the least exciting topics to cover, but I wasn't sure how to really wow new users without overwhelming them.  I figured that taking it step by step with short, clear episodes covering special topics would be a good start.

Really nice, agree that the intro is the least exciting.

But even starting with agendas in the next one, the more interesting things
can be shown.

Great job!

So with the software you use, you can go and insert/delete/edit voice into the
presentation once it's complete, or if you want to change the wording in one
part, do you have to record the whole thing over again?  I assume you can change
it, but don't know if the Linux tool has that capability.

Great idea!  I would he happy to record a couple of screencasts
based on tutorials I have written. Currently I am preparing
a tutorial on date trees and capturing notes to a journal.

I am a Windows user and a screencast tool I use is
http://www.screenr.com - from Articulate.
This allows screencasts up to 5 minutes to be recorded
then hosted on their website.
