GSoC idea relating to Fedora Videos

As promised in the Fedora Videos meeting this week, I proposed an idea on the GSoC 2012 project ideas page that relates to the Fedora Videos project. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_coding_ideas_for_2012#Assemble_a_to... The idea I proposed is to assemble a toolchain (a group of tools) for creating screencasts easily. I think this is the biggest challenge that we face in making the Fedora Videos project successful, and seems to have enough depth to fill a summer project. The output of the project is detailed step-by-step instructions about how to make a professional-looking screencast using software in the Fedora repository. That may included chasing down & fixing bugs in the existing tools, discovering new tools and getting them packaged and learning about techniques in the environment around the computer, such as how to select & setup a microphone or how to draft a good speaking script. We want to remove all bumps in the road for creating a screencast. The best way to do that is to acknowledge that their likely are bumps and someone needs to really dig into all the steps involved so it can be fun and easy. -Dan -- Dan Allen Principal Software Engineer, Red Hat | Author of Seam in Action Registered Linux User #231597 http://google.com/profiles/dan.j.allen http://mojavelinux.com http://mojavelinux.com/seaminaction
