I may be interested, depending on the content. I'm not at all a flash programmer, but can help in translating to french if applicable.
Well, the content is up to you... Right now I'm concentrating on the general topic "Email and Thunderbird". Reason: I started with Thunderbird because I found there was very little documentation (no F1 help and the homepage has very little, just an *external* link on the Mozilla homepage for their own product!) but it has quite a lot of users. The Mozilla admins actually added a link to my pages (to http://letexa.com/courses/1/course.html really). Since I still have precious little contents I'm working on getting more for Email/Thunderbird, to justify the link and not loose all the visitors coming trough it. Right now most people come either through this link or through Google searches. At this point it's useless because of a lack of significant traffic, but if it picks up - and with some content it WILL pick up (I've created successful communities TWICE before, for network address translation and later at SuSE for Oracle so I think I know what I'm talking about) - I'd like to make the statistics public, including Google Analytics. Yes, a few days ago I added code for this. I had always thought it to be useless, since I've the Apache logfiles, but boy, was I wrong! Google Analytics is GREAT! Shows you everything down to what keywords people used in their Google searches to find you, what kind of bandwidth they have at home and their screensizes (very nice to know if you offer multimedia content)! So anyway, I also recorded my first Linux screencast, which was my OpenSuSE 10.3 installation in VMware on my otherwise Win XP system (Laptop is Vista with VMware), and had plans to turn that into my first Linux content. Then I discovered that link on the Mozilla pages (I actually finally looked at my webserver logfiles and the referrer info) and in a hurry started to improve the Thunderbird related stuff. Everyone should concentrate on what they like and know best. I have very good infrastructure for multimedia and Flash (good recording equipment, good video camera, Adobe Creative Suite CS3, 24" monitor ;-) etc.) and have some ideas for what to do. But alone it's little use. I don't even WANT to become an expert web- and ajax programmer, for example. Anyone who likes that part? ;-)
I have some sort of fast hosting and can share some Gb
Very welcome indeed, if traffic picks up! How many GB? I've 150 as I mentioned. Multimedia needs LOTS of bandwidth. One more reason to try to also make money with the site, to be able to afford a content delivery network ;-)
I have already some sort of courses in french, used three years ago as distant (internet) teaching, and do now a small course for opening open source to very newbie only knowing windows

interesting
I'd like to concentrate on "enabling", i.e. general infrastructure like the Flash framework, instructions and tutorials for how to create content, the website in the background. I set up a mailinglist list@letexa.com (unmoderated, members only), but at this point it's still empty as this is the first time I went "public". I had to get SOME content up first, I couldn't ask earlier with nothing at all to show... to subscribe you have to go to this page (I just added this, interrupting writing this email): http://letexa.com/contributors.php Seems like it only works this way and not via email commands.
