| Welcome to AboutUs | Headshot of Ted speaking |
| I'm Ted and the topic of today's screencast is Why create an account? | Big WHY |
| Creating an account allows you to: | Sign Up |
| Have your own personal page where you can write a bit about yourself. You can even do your work here. | Ray's personal page, scroll down |
| * Have a talk page which acts as an internal messaging system, where other logged-in people can leave you notes and have conversations. | Ray's talk page |
| You will be notified if someone writes a message to you there. (Your e-mail address remains confidential.) | yellow box notification |
| This feature shows up as a tab in your account box when logged in. | account box, watchlist |
| Registering gives you the ability to make a customized watch list of pages that you would like to keep an eye on changes made to them. | watch listitself |
| It's easy | clickig the eye |
| ** Being e-mailed when a page you care about in your watchlist is edited | gmail screen with the email |
| * Upload images/photos. | page with images |
| * Use the move page tab to change the CamelCase capitalization of a DomainPage. | misnamed age that gets fixed |
| * By registering, you can set your preferences to include such options as: | click on the preferences tab and going to the page |
| ** How you sign your name | Kristina's signature, Vartan's, Ray's?, Mark's, Kasey |
| * Any edits made while logged in will be assigned to your name. You will be able to review your contributions by clicking my contributions. Explain why useful. | show my contributions |
| Logging in lets you build trust and respect through your identity a history of good contributions. This helps in allowing everyone to AssumeGoodFaith. Calling out the real names. | WhosOnline |
| *Logging in allows us together to collaborate to build the commons. See you on the wiki. | |
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!
