a) Shoulder surfing videos. b) Bringing grandparents up to speed.
Thank you folks! I'm grateful for your interest. a) Shoulder surfing How about some shoulder surfing videos?... you go to youtube, trying to run that other format is problematical, and at youtube you watch people's screens as they do various things with a GNU/Linux setup. b) Grandparents How about instructive information for grandparents?... who may not have yet developed good coordination even moving a cursor around or need a reminder how to turn on the machine.

This really is a task for a ongoing community of support. My advise is to join some of them. They are all over the internet. I suggest you to check them out be a part of it and suggest your ideas. For video tutorials a great site is showmedo.com for ITcentric video tutorials. Check them out and join their community. Is smart to avoid duplication of efforts. Someone somewhere already did this.

Very good idea. I think I'll work on a couple right away; First video, starting with basic mouse skills, how to move the pointer, reposition the mouse (lift-move-lower), select (single click), open (double click), or drag icons around on the desktop, and ending with how to use the Applications menu. Second video will probably cover the right-click menus, how to select multiple icons / blocks of text, and how to cut/copy/paste (for files in nautilus, and text or images in a document)
