Oh, that's a smart idea

I also have a bunch of Dreamwidth invite codes, and I'd love to give them to someome who's working (or will work!) on Fanlore. Comment here and I'll get you a code as soon as I can!

Another invite code offer

I still have a bunch (around 6 or so) and would be more than happy to give them to fellow Fanlore editors :) PM me with your email or just leave a comment and I'll get back to you.

Calling all vidders!

[brownbetty]

In order to get the widest possible fan contribution, we'd like to make editing fanlore as non-threatening as possible, and get our help resources up to snuff. To that end, we're attempting to get some screencasts made. Now, I can record a screencast, but when it comes to editing out all the pauses and jittering, and speeding up the typey-bits to make it not annoying to watch, I admit, I'm not so hot.

However, it occurs to me that this should be a fairly trivial exercise for some of the amazing vidders I know we have in the fan community.

We would like screencasts on, at minimum the two following subjects:

1) Getting a fanlore account! This is the first hurdle for new editors. A screencast should walk the viewer through getting an account, and let them know how to set up their OpenID, should they wish to add that.

2) Editing a new article! Want to start a new article? How do you do that? How do you make a wiki link, and add headings?

Additionally, if screencasts include a voice component, subtitles would be awesome, and make them more accessible.

If you'd like to make a screencast, or help with one, or suggest other topics that could be usefully screencast, please let me know!
