Hi Anisa,

One of the main reasons we've decided to make video documentation is for 
capacity building materials for clients with small staff, some with high 
staff turnover, limited technical skills, and only spanish speaking.  
Handing the client a CD with videos on how to use their website will be 
an easier and more sustainable way to show them how to use their 
website/update it/modify it.  We also think this will benefit many other 
clients who are in the USA w/ large and small staff alike, english 
speaking, limited or moderate techincal skills.  It will provide an 
alternative to written documentation, and seeing it once will also show 
folks how easy it is to make changes on the website - like see it to 
believe it's that easy.

We realize such videos would benefit not just our clients, but Drupal 
and CS users in general, therefore we approached the community to 
explain our project and see how we can standardize the production and 
look of the videos so they can benefit the maximum amount of users. 

That's the story in a nutshell...
We look forward to hearing your feedback,
Cheers,
Ian
