<div>There coming along great. We want to give Julian a link to a page on <a href="http://squeak.org" target="_blank">squeak.org</a> with Seaside installation instructions. Which Seaside, and from where, is something I'm going to need to know. <a href="http://builder.seaside.st" target="_blank">builder.seaside.st</a>? Isn't that going to become incompatible? </div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm happy to create a screencast for the written instructions as well. My site's got lots of them. And I have a workflow for making screencasts. </div><div><br></div><div>That broaches a worthy topic: officialness. What is officially Squeak sanctioned? Bear with me here. </div>
<div><br></div><div>If I write a text that shows how we want people to install Seaside, and it's vetted, and goes on <a href="http://squeak.org" target="_blank">squeak.org</a>, then that's the official way we want people to do it. Until we decide to change it. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I think we should have a screencast for that, and it'll be official. That's the way to do it. There are screencasts floating around like confetti. They aren't that useful, as they lack oversight and officialdom. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I'd like to elect myself dictator of official instructions and videos. We'd create a text page on <a href="http://squeak.org" target="_blank">squeak.org</a> and link to a resource housing screncasts such as YouTube. So we have a YouTube channel where the official getting-started-with-Squeak videos are. </div>
<div><br></div><div>What makes them official? Because I say so! :O</div><div><br></div><div>They'd be official because the Squeak board has seen them and signed off on them. They'd be official, because they'd have a maintainer, me, who would listen to people's feedback on them, and they would be remade to address changes or things that people found confusing. They'd be official, because they'd have a small set of essential tasks people need to get what they need. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Of course, once people see a set of ten movies that are official and immutable, then they'll want to create their own to elaborate on the ten official videos. We have them in the same place such as a YouTube Channel. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm not a saint and I'm not willing to do this just for the greater glory of God. To do this right takes time and effort, which ultimately means it takes money. I'd want to be able to post a image link from our channel of official videos to my site. Something like, "Sponsored by..." For that I'd be willing to write lots of instructions and make, and revise, lots of videos. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Consider it. I'll write the Seaside install instructions either way. </div><div><br></div><div>Chris </div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
