<silence for title screen>	WikiProject Screencast: Helping our readers and content contributors understand Wikipedia.
Screencasts: You've seen plenty of them. There are screencasts describing software tools, demonstrating how to build web pages, explaining how to fill out forms.	Screen captures of a few screencasts (not specific to Wikimedia)
In this screencast, we want to tell you why we think screencasting could be a transformative tool for Wikipedia outreach and education.
Screencasting is a new medium: there are numerous tools, with numerous strengths and weaknesses; and there are many different creative approaches	Screen shots of a few tools—tricky to think how to do this while minimizing copyright/trademark concerns
Those unfamiliar with Wikipedia—whether their interest is in reading or contributing -- have all kinds of questions.	"Who wrote this thing, anyway?" "Can I use this photo in my report?" "How do I make a table?" "Why did my article get deleted?" (Use some fun graphic treatment on these quotes)
We have lots of text documentation…	Several policy pages
…but as the saying goes, "a picture is worth a thousand words."	Chinese proverb image from 1927 ad (or see A picture is worth a thousand words)
How many words could a screencast be worth?	10,000? 1,000,000? 92,674,395,332.0007??!
Let's figure out how to show new contributors how we work, instead of telling them.	We're just getting started…
WikiProject Screencast. Let's make Wikipedia the online encyclopedia that anyone can truly edit!	…and we hope you'll join us.
