I may be dreaming...
But I do see a big opportunity in agreeing to guidelines for how to offer member tutorials in this forum.
- I see all tutorials with a clearly common look, with a clear reference to the forum
- my preferred format would be pdf files (possibly created under Word/Open office)
- The tutorials could be offered in collaboration between several members, some with the ideas and illustrations, others to help shaping the display.
- The tutorials should be approved by the admin/mods team to avoid copyright issues
- The layout should necessarily offer useful information such as: authors, competence level, software versions, editing and update dates. That's where guidelines would be useful.
- easy retrieval and download option from users (I have a few ideas...)
- Those tutorials would allow linking to outside links. The important purpose is that anybody looking for a subject first uses the forum tutorial.
- To build rapidly a mass of tutorials, we should offer: - tutorials to use the forum features, reformated tutorials from EV members allowing the use in this new forum; old tutorials needing serious updating (with reference to the original); tutorials about recent features of Elements/LR/etc.
- forum tutorials advertisements: many sites don't allow linking to the forum itself, but allow linking to specific tutorials. A way to make the forum known.
- Let's imagine we are able to issue (relatively small) tutorials in a weeks time... we could encourage newcomers to suggest ideas for new tuts. That would give us an edge over other forums or social media...
Yes, I am dreaming
