There are many tasks such as: > > * collecting topics that should be covered > * writing canonical narration scripts for each episode [=E2=80=A6] I guess it makes sense to start at the beginning :) What are good first topics that we could introduced in self-contained videos? The goal is to show a useful feature (one or two closely related features per video) without making things confusing. Ludo recommended to take a look at the slides that people have been using to present Guix to various audiences: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/maintenance.git/tree/talks We don=E2=80=99t have to use them as they are, but they could provide some inspiration to find ways to explain the essence of functional package management. We don=E2=80=99t need to start with this abstract topic. Maybe it=E2=80=99s better to show features first. What are your thoughts on this? -- Ricardo
