I just wanted to follow up and point out that I added the following page to Worg (linked from the Tutorials page):

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-screencasts/

I re-recorded the last screencast to make the keystrokes more clear.  I'm considering it done unless you guys find anything else I should add/fix.

If anyone would like to contribute ideas or scripts for screencasts in the future, please let me know.  I'd be happy to do the production/recording/voiceover, but help planning the script would be great.

Thanks,
Richard

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?

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.
