You know, it occurs to me that we could do an installation tutorial
without text.
The whole mark/sweep/interclick concept can be hard for any newbie
without seeing it first. Bluebottle has a VNC server. We could use
something like vnc2swf ( http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/vnc2swf/ ) to
record an installation so someone (even a non-English speaker) could
grasp the steps in a slightly more concrete fashion.
Is there someone willing to host it if one of us in the Oberon
community made the Macromedia Flash file?
