That was what I had in mind, or at least what I understood. Maybe if there is enough time, we can add it, but I feel it is kind of advanced for the video. > > > > This ordering looks fine to me. > > I would add some emphasis to finding the > documentation and the contact page on the website, but that might be obvious.

I mentioned that the videos show at the end a slide with the link for the documentation, but does not harm adding it again. > I guess I would skip the dev list here OK, just help. is it fine taking snapshots? > I also believe that the IRC channel is quite important.

No strong opinion here. Already mentioned my idea about debbugs. Don't know what mumi is :/ Regards :) Laura
