I tried to extend my skill set, and made this, ahem, wonderful video:

  http://web.fdn.fr/~lcourtes/tmp/guix-demo.ogv (4 MiB)
  http://web.fdn.fr/~lcourtes/tmp/guix-demo.gif (24 MiB!)

It=E2=80=99s 1mn15s long and only shows #1, but I thought it=E2=80=99s a go=
od start as
something to replace the 50mn video currently on the front page.

What do people think?

Given the size difference, I suppose we=E2=80=99d have to put the Theora vi=
deo
rather than the animated GIF.
