Re: [Orgmode] Re: Org-mode screencasts

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
