Re: [libreoffice-design] CI Design Wrapper for Videos

Hi Shawn

Why don't you add yourself to the Design Team members page?

Create a Login first and then once you have the above, edit the main 
Design/Whiteboards page and add a section on this project. You can also 
add a specific page for the video project with an initial draft 
structure which the main page refers to.

Use the Edit facility to see how the other pages are linked including 
Design\Whiteboards\InterfaceImprovement - this should give you a useful 
guide.

Then maybe send an email asking for those design team members that would 
like to be involved to let you know.

Record some of your ideas and the suggestion for help videos.

At some stage it will be necessary to communiate with the developers to 
see how easily the links to help videos can be incorporated. You could 
start off with a higher level outline of help areas and then with input 
from others, built a complete tree of topics and gradually populate them 
with videos - that will take a combined effort as it will be too big for 
one person to do.

Cheers

Phil Jacskon
