[wp-docs] Screencasts

[Lorelle VanFossen]

To bring everyone up to date on this issue, it was suggested by Matt 
during this week's WordPress Meetup that the Codex begin plans to 
include "screencasts". For those new to this concept, it is like a 
"podcast" but basically an animated/video-like display of screen shots. 
An example would be installing WordPress. A link to the screencast would 
be on the Installing WordPress Codex article page, giving users a chance 
to read through the documentation and/or view the animated process of 
how to install WordPress.

I've set up a page on the Codex to take notes on how this may work and 
provide links to examples and other things and open this up to 
discussion here, and in that page's discussion page.

We will need someone to coordinate this with the Codex.  I've talked to 
a couple people about this and I'm awaiting their answer. We will also 
need volunteers to take on the fun of making such screencasts.  There 
are a lot of decisions and information to gather, like which articles 
would best be suited to this, decisions about software, and how to 
coordinate this effort.

It's very exciting.  Let's start making plans and begin to put this into 
effect. See: http://codex.wordpress.org/Codex:Screencasts for more 
information and to sign up.
