Hello,
as some of u know, I try to redesign the installer of ur distro. Some time ago I did a blogpost about the slideshow in it.
http://karl-tux-stadt.de/ktuxs/?p=2587
I think the text information in the slideshow, and which slides we show, should be reimproved too. So I made a little brainstorm what should the slideshow contain and in which order should they showed. U can find it here: http://karl-tux-stadt.de/tmp/yast-installer2.png
1. project should be a little introducion what openSUSE is and how its created 2. one of my points was, that in the old slideshow would showed many slides with what the installed distro has, u never keep all names of the programs in ur mind during the install process, so better make a generally slide that says, u have all installed what u need and can find more. And show a way how to find the programs 3. in the old slideshow openFATE wasnt mentioned, I think thats not good because a user who work with ur ditro all day can sometimes have good ideas what we can do better. So we should give him a whole slide 4. How u can find help, should be contain some words to openSUSE wiki and forums and so on 5. How u can help, should descirbe that we are a project from contributors and that there is a way to contribute too 6-7. 2 slides with ways to contribute 8. Build ur own should be a slide about SUSE Studio 9. a slide about the OBS 10. a last slide, for short repeat and invite to be part of openSUSE
The only problem is, I dont like to do this alone without a discussion, second reason I am not really good wit english texts ;)
So would u help me with this? As I know Jos created a piratepad or something like that.
http://piratepad.net/k4ca6dcQ5m That would be this one. I basically took your 10 points and thought about that, changed a few things. I think this is a difficult issue - what exactly is our goal with these slides? Educate our user on ? what ? entertain? inform? make him/her do something? Before we really start defining the slides I think we should discuss that. Thoughts?
