Hi, in the begining I'd like to say that I'm still learning XOOPS (as almost everyone).
My name is Michał Szyda, I live in Poland.
I work with XOOPS since 2003, after one year I got involved into Official Polish XOOPS Support (http://www.xoops.pl).
At the moment we are maintaining the site (a new design and new translate secition).

Recently I was invited to polish edition of PHP Solutions Magazine, they made an extra edition of magazine just about XOOPS. You can see it here: http://phpsolmag.org/pl/phpsolmag/issues/extra_22.html .
Me and my friend - red_Slider - wrote an article about prepare and installation of XOOPS. The magazine have also got CD inside. On this CD there is a 80-minutes video I've made. It is guide which include such parts: installation, article module, newbb m, news m, rmdp m, contact m, protector m, wf-links m, smartfaq m, xsgallery m, admin panel guide, modyfing a theme, installation of seo-url's hack.

I was creating it with "CamStudio" and we used red_Slider's voice (he is explaining my moves during the movie).
As you see I like make XOOPS understanable for every user. I've also translated a lot of modules into Polish. In my opinion local support sites has got a huge potential and are very helpful.

Words enough My idea is:
When the Documentation Team wrote any part of The New XOOPS Guide there will be reason to translate it into local languages. There sholud be a person who will supervise this job. I want to say that I could be a person who take responsibility for contacting with local support sites, translating a documentation and supervising a main site with translated docs.
You have to decide now, do you need such a person or not, if answer is no - sorry to bother you

This is definitely a very valuable role!

Excellent! Even more skill in the realm of Documentation and Promotion.

wonderful Karak_bu! That would be fabulous.

Sounds just what is needed. Well done in coming forward!

I would love to see those video tutorials.

I'm very surprised of your opinions
At the moment I'm waiting for the contract from magazine and I don't know the circumstances of my work, I know it sound ridiculous...
When the contract arrive I will know what I can do with that video.
Regards, Michał Szyda

If its the one Michał showed me some time ago than i can testify he's done a brilliant work

hm..DefianceB0y, you are the man from Romania who is making such a great themes ?
If yes, why not to join Design Team ?

It is not ridiculous. Over the last 6 months I have learned a lot about contracts and the effects they can have on people's lives. I signed a non-compete contract with my last employer now I cannot work within fifty miles or for two years doing what I love to do. So I understand when you say you better wait.

The reason I am interested in your videos is because I am doing this myself. I am not doing this for XOOPS related content but for Windows related content. I just wanted to see what methods you are using to achieve your goals. If you get a chance to share please let us know.
