| Welcome to AboutUs | |
| I'm Ted and the topic of today's screencast is Why create an account? | |
| Creating an account allows you to: | |
| * Have your own personal page where you can write a bit about yourself. | |
| * Have a talk page which acts as an internal messaging system, where other logged-in people can leave you notes and have conversations. You will be notified if someone writes a message to you there. (Your e-mail address remains confidential.) | |
| * Registering gives you the ability to make a customized watch list of pages that you would like to keep an eye on and log changes made to them. This feature shows up as a tab in your account box when logged in. | |
| * Upload images/photos. |
- Use the move page tab to change the CamelCase capitalization of a DomainPage.
- By registering, you can set your preferences to include such options as:
- How large your edit box should be
- How you sign your name
- How many pages are displayed in recent changes
- Being e-mailed when a page you care about in your watchlist is edited
- Any edits made while logged in will be assigned to your name. You will be able to review your contributions by clicking my contributions.
- You don't need to reveal your offline identity, but having an account gives you an identity on this wiki that others will recognize. Logging in lets you build trust and respect through a history of good edits. This helps in allowing everyone to AssumeGoodFaith.
- Logging in allows distinguished and reliable contributors who make constructive edits to be more easily separated from spammers. Together we can collaborate to build the commons.
notes
- make the font size as big as possible in the browser
- make the mouse pointer as big as possible with universal access tools
- let's call the intro one done and move on to another one - the list of possibilities is below - as we make more, we can start to organize a VideoFAQ (Category:WikiAnatomy) as well as post them on the weblog as well as on the appropriate help page.
Second one
Flash sample from Vartan
Our first one, please comment
next steps
'questions and answers and learnings
- ShinyWhiteBox.com - program called iShowU - $20
- no editing - it's just one take - the first one took 15 takes, re-doing until feels like it's more or less right
- 45 min, start to finish, Julia and Mark, wrote script over lunch
- minute long, make 30 seconds long?
- we can post these on facebook or other places
- topic of the first one? "Welcome to AboutUs"
- let's publish the script with each one so anyone else can then modify the script, record their own version, and the community can decide which is the "official" version of any of these at any one time, but we could have a gallery of each topic videos - need to figure out how to organize this
- need to be not-logged in to AboutUs and also google
- record screen or window - you can set it
- you can set the start and stop hotkeys
- In the editing process if the thing that the mouse is point to could be highlighted somehow... red circle around it, kind of pulled off the screen and made bigger (hard to explain what I mean)... that would help. Like for the "ContactUs" link the "Useful Links" box could be closed, then opened and circle the link to "contact us." I think right before hitting the edit tab in this to highlight the many edit tabs would help people see them.
- All in all, I think it is awesome. The capabilities of a screen cast thing-y and audio go beyond what something like WikiAnatomy can offer for a beginner overview, walk you through it sort of thing... yay!

Try to set up a vendor share, like Brandon did with OmniGroup.com by using Amrosiasw.com screencastonline.com
Break these ideas down, for a screencast action:
