During our beta I created a video to kind of explain how the site works. I'd like to continue expanding on that and create other videos for the site if people want to watch to see how they work.

Please feel free to add your own. I use recordmydesktop to make these.

How do I ask questions on Ask Ubuntu (NEW!)

This tutorial is how to ask a good question right away so your question is high quality before you post it to the site. (Ugh, audio stops working 9 minutes in, I'll need to redo this one)

How to improve your questions on Ask Ubuntu

I made this one to help people who might be new to this site and don't understand the concept of improving your question to get better results.

How to improve your answers on Ask Ubuntu

Some tips on how to improve your answers with more detail. (Some video corruption here in some places, bummer.)

How to use the Ubuntu StackExchange

(older and more general, while the site was in beta so it doesn't look as slick, still kind of applies.)

I made these at 1920x1024 so they show up nice if you fullscreen and want to get into the detail so if you can't read it click the fullscreen button.

Feedback on these as I make them is appreciated, I tend to get opinionated on how certain things should work so if that's obvious in the video and you think it's wrong please let me know. If you're from a sister stack site, please steal. Also, feel free to make your own and add them!

@JorgeCastro, nice work on these. For the one on improving questions, I'm a little nervous that there's too much emphasis put on asking questions without details. Editing in more detail is obviously good, but shouldn't there be some detail in the initial post? – Rebecca Chernoff♦ Feb 28 '11 at 19:20
awesome, wonderful – user unknown Mar 10 '11 at 1:36
@Rebecca Ok I made a video just for asking new questions, hopefully that one will help people better. – Jorge Castro Mar 20 '11 at 15:42
Wait a sec, shouldn't the site be so easy to use that you don't need tutorials? – alexy13 May 2 '11 at 1:49
@alexy13 The videos are more for showing people how to put better content in their questions so that they can get better answers than how to use the site. – Jorge Castro May 2 '11 at 1:54
