[RT] Screencast
This is directed at Alex and Carol:
I know you are surely both swamped with your current obligations, but I would not make this request if I did not think it would be of great benefit to the community:
It would be extremely helpful to new members such as myself coming on board for the first time, if you could spend 15min or so of your time with a pair of headphones and a mic as you walk through the repository explaining in general terms how the code is laid out and things tie together and make this video available in the "Getting Started" landing page for the project.
I think this would go a long way to getting newbies like me up and running as quickly as possible.
Thanks,
Michael

I've got two more coming as soon as the build files settle down (which I
think is starting to happen). Those will cover building the entire suite,
and submitting patches to JIRA.

And if you plow through; and figure stuff out; I'm sure we'd welcome
the donation of your docs on how to get around. :-)
I've poddled around a bit; but haven't figured out everything. I know
that Nick has done a bunch of screencasts that are Apache Flex related.

You're right Jeffrey - my assumption was that Carol and Alex would be the
most familiar with the code and how it's laid out given their history with
it, however, as you rightly point out, there are probably other veterans on
our team who have gained a comparable level of intimacy with the code - it
was not my intention to exclude anyone. Whoever feels up the challenge -
your fruits will be greatly appreciated!

I agree something like this would be beneficial. I'm not sure why the
the responsibility would be on Alex or Carol to create this.
