[drupal-docs] video documentation samples; take two.

[Ian Ward]

Hi All,
We've completed four sample video documentation pieces for common user 
tasks on Drupal and CivicSpace-based websites.  The four videos cover:

-Login to a Drupal/CivicSpace powered website
-Create a story
-Create a personal blog entry
-Add an image to a post with HTMLArea

and are available here:
http://www.developmentseed.org/docs

Obviously some of the videos cover very simple tasks.  The HTMLarea and 
UploadImage is a slightly longer and more complex example.  The videos 
are ideas to build off of for production of videos for more complicated 
tasks, ideas for customized documentation to make available for members 
or employees on large community sites, marketing videos, etc. 

In this second cut we got rid of the chapters in each video and simply 
used popup windows to point out features or helpful hints which are not 
covered in the audio.  How do they look?

Cheers,
Ian
