Hi,
I have created a few video tutorials about common questions which every now
and then pop up here or the irc channel #scribus at freenode. The videos can
be found at http://www.saunalahti.fi/rikle/scribus-vids/
This has been an experiment with a really cool desktop recorder called
recordmydesktop and its frontend called gtk-recordmydesktop. I hope these few
videos will convince you to create your own Scribus videos (possibly with
even sound :) I was thinking about spreadding these using youtube or some
other online video service but the quality with youtube just did not make it
worth it.
