Hello!

Anyone wants to make some screencasts?
That would be cool.
Even a not very well prepared screencast where a developer talks while showing off some basic stuff is really nice for someone who wants to learn about a framework.

What do you think..

Yeah we've thought about this for a very long time, me in particular. I think it would be really cool, probably promote the framework a bit better as well.

Yeah it is a good idea. Anyone that would like to make a video, please contact me.

It has proven to attract a lot of developers for other frameworks.
Imagine where this project could go with additional 10 active developers.. =)

I vote for short videos, so the information is split up in chunks like 1-3 minutes.

So only few videos would get obsolete when serious changes hit our roadmap.

I'm up for making a video. Any recommendations for the tools (under Windows)?

I can suggest Wink. It's open-source.

Both are open source. But Wink seems to be in development.
However the other one I have used already and is running stable. Very othen I have been disappointed by the lack of stability from these kind of tools.

Let us decide on one Image for the front:

I can provide the PSD file.. actually it is easy to edit anyways: Just fill in the content.

To be able to produce the video without much trouble, just load the image in the brower and there you go.
I do not think we need additional video editing or anything.
Quick and dirty is alright, as long as the video is informative and not boring.

Cheers,
tronics

I just created a new screencast, and am working on the second one; I also aggregated all our existing screencasts on one page: http://qcu.be/content/video-screencasts.

Anybody up to write scripts for the next few screencasts? I can do the production.

Just a note, the "Installing plugins" screencast from the frontpage leads to the "Initial Configuration of QCubed 1.1" screencast too.
