Thanks for the reminder.  I asked Gary a couple of questions and I copy 
his reply below.  The idea of good video instructions seems good to me.  
We are a bit weak on the documentation front at times.  His site is 
worth a visit to view his theology.  American Prosperity Gospel (to 
which I don't personally subscribe).

Gary's website and videos are totally Windows oriented, which rules me 
out as a video volunteer, but I do think the concept of a video along 
the style he uses is a good one.  Anyone want to go for it?

Quoted e-mail follows: "I came here:  http://crosswire.org/index.jsp
Then here: http://crosswire.org/applications.jsp
Then here: http://crosswire.org/sword/software/biblecs/
Then here: Installation Instructions

Let me show you what can be done. I paid a young man $500.

Each video must be in two parts (1) gee whiz; (2) easy as pie. The first
shows one useful function. It takes 30 seconds. The rest of it shows how to
do it. Whole video: 3 minutes, max.

Rehearse it a few times. Then record it.

Narrate what you are doing as you do it. Use a lapel mic:

Use screencasting software: www.screencast-o-matic.com.

Create a YouTube channel. End the videos with a link back to your site.

Do a separate series for each OS."  End quotation.


God bless,        Barry.
