Great idea! FWIW, I think it's a lot of efforts, but if the community manage to pull it off, very great! FWIW, I record screencast using the following script: ~/src/scheme/video$ cat record.sh #!/bin/sh ffmpeg -video_size 1920x1080 -framerate 25 -f x11grab -i :0.0+0,0 -f pulse -ac 2 -i default $1 Then run the script with something like: $ ./record.sh guix-functional-package-manager.mp4 I've been recording some guile hacking session, that you can find on youtube with the name "GNU Guile Hacking". Or using the following command: youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_jCPpfzyfeqtG9Jm4-WkiyX3kP4GiZp5 It's far away from anything like a MOOC but some people enjoy them. I am not looking to spam the mailing with my poor attempts at marketing GNU Guile but rather suggest that anyone can create such video focusing on guix. And without much prepartion, can do much better than me. Anyway, good luck!
