Maybe a poll would be in order? I mean debating back and forth video VS text is one thing (personally I still think the methodolgy I proposed makes the most sense as you get the best of both worlds plus some good feedback mechanisms, but again that's just me... I don't pretend to know best), but at the end of they day it comes down to the community in two ways: 1) Newbies are going to know best which way they prefer to learn and 2) Community members, who are going to presumably be the ones contributing these tutorials, are going to know what's most viable for them to be effective. As the thread has shown, there are a few options for doing good clear quality screen capture/videos; these options of course require more effort and introduce a larger possibility for discrepencies/differences in quality/format/etc than straight text... as well as more difficulty in maintenance (i.e. it's easier to update part of a written tutorial to accommodate for changes in OS/software; with video, you need two different videos). Anyways, again either way I think it should be put to poll and let the masses decide which way is best; after all, that's the whole point of this Maemo community thing right? (unless there's a "communist" dictator lurking around the corner that I'm not aware of!)
