[Gmod-help] Re: suggestions

[Dave Clements, GMOD Help Desk]

Hi Jason,

Thanks for the suggestions.  I think it's a great idea.

My job description says that I am to create online tutorials, using
screencasts, on how to setup GMOD components.  It doesn't specifically
say that I should also create end-user tutorials.  However, that
strikes me as either a logical first or next step.  It would be a good
first step because end-user tutorials are likely to be easier to do
then setup tutorials.  It would be a good next step because it's, umm,
not in the grant.

Either way, I am hoping to get to the online tutorial part of this job
before the July meeting.  If the setup tutorials are too daunting to
start with, then I'll cut my teeth on some end-user tutorials first.

Do folks have any thoughts on this?

Thanks,

Dave C.
