That was sweet. You even have a pleasing "screencaster's voice." My only thought was along the lines of what one should assume about org-mode viewers. Familiarity with emacs? No knowledge of emacs? I only got into emacs because I found org-mode, so my only thought there is that I might not even have known what "meta" was... I can't recall, but did you clarify meta = alt on Win/Linux and Command on Mac? Stuff like that might be helpful. Obviously these won't all be done on a Mac and some unfamiliar with it might wonder what the Command and carat symbols are on their own keyboards? As Erik said -- folding and perhaps adjusting in and out (meta + left/right). Also, it seems that only the meta or control functions show up as keystrokes. For example, I thought you said "M-n s" and "M-n w" to narrow on the tree and then widen the view but I only ever saw one part of that flash on the screen. Great, great job. Loved it and think this is exactly what Org could use. I have a co-worker who just got emacs and org-mode up on his computer and would love to have something this simple and clear-cut. Great work, again.

Really nice, agree that the intro is the least exciting.

But even starting with agendas in the next one, the more interesting things=
can be shown.

Great job!

So with the software you use, you can go and insert/delete/edit voice into = the
presentation once it's complete, or if you want to change the wording i= n one
part, do you have to record the whole thing over again? =A0I assume you can= change
it, but don't know if the Linux tool has that capability.

Great idea! =A0I would he happy to record a couple of screencasts
based on tutorials I have written. Currently I am preparing
a tutorial on date trees and capturing notes to a journal.

I am a Windows user and a screencast tool I use is
http://www.screenr.com= - from Articulate.
This allows screencasts up to 5 minutes to be recorded
then hosted on their website.
