We think that majority of the new members would search the forums for answers but then end up reading replies that are too technical that make them uncomfortable to post a follow-up question since they don’t know how to compose their replies.

So, there IS a god! Thank you for recognizing this! It is a bright day indeed. :)

Barring all of the screwups that I don't have to do not a 2.5 minute video would probably take someone 30 minutes to get right. Less if they weren't trying to make it nice.

Have you looked at Wink? It's great for making flash-format tutorials. A downside may be that It's freeware and not FOSS.

Agreed, but it seems usable if you vnc into a tablet.

/me runs off to try some things.

Re: Introducing Tablet Scene

The windows version of Wink, which is a later version, runs fine under Wine (1.1.2).

Great !.

I don't think of myself as a Newbie, doing (business) IT for more than 30 years, but can't keep up with all the technical details and stuff like differences between chinook, diablo and whatever. In this area I am an interested enduser, nothing more. I am very interested in how Nokia puts tablets in the Consumer Market, but can't spent enough time to play a role in Maemo of even ITT.

I think it is a very good idea to include the ITS stuff !

Hope this Scene suits me also. Wish you lots of succes!

Abel.

No more "why don't you use search?" replies! Now you can answer "why don't use Tablet Scene?" LOL!

Re: Introducing Tablet Scene

Lately I have been thinking that the right remark is "Have you clicked on Wiki?" The known answers should be put there. It's easy to find, whatever your search skills. It's small.

I have read a lot of threads in my life, and I think that no one should read a thread that is, say, more than 100 messages long. I read them all the time, but I think I shouldn't. It's just too much of a waste of time.

Once upon a time, paragraphs went on for pages in regular literature. Eventually, someone figured out that it just didn't work from the point of view of reader-friendliness. Now, virtually no author writes paragraphs that go on for pages. They break them up as a matter of course. I think this approach for threads would be a better general policy than the current one. As in literature, no one passed a law saying "you have to have shorter paragraphs!" It became a matter of common sense.

It's too bad people can't come to the same realization about thread length. Nobody wants to read a thread basically saying "hey, Diablo has just been released!" years after it was released. Many bugs are understood and fixed and one has to go thru all the fixed and irrelevant stuff just to find out some simple answer? It's just plain dumb.

In this case, maybe tradition is too strong and it is necessary to create a new site to escape a bad tradition. That's too bad.

Re: Introducing Tablet Scene

I looked through, and posted a couple of responses to the tablet scene today. As it looks now I think it's well worth trying, if it works it'll be good, if not then it was at least tried. And I agree the wiki should be kept the same as the ITT one.
