This project is to provide demonstrations of how to do everyday tasks with KDE. Most of these videos should be very short. This is officially a KDE project, but it is being worked on.
The goal it to show KDE helping us accomplish work related tasks. KDE is ridiculously beautiful.
We should provide screen and control surface movements.
We should use few words, say what things are with a correct and simple technical name.
We could have a few humorous bits per video, like a WARNING
Howto record and post video

KDE Task videos
http://youtube.com/yamspaine -- demonstrates using KDE -- sort of as a new user would see it. Not quite tutorials, more a mixed review + workarounds
