Parent article: SCALE: Understanding Unity

I know web designers and documenters are a scarce resource, but if you want to introduce a interface you have to have great tour of the new ways to interact with that interface.

We all may hate the "XP tour" pop ups after an XP reinstall, but a good website where people can go to and where the most common questions are answered is very important, at best with videos, a tour and a lot of pictures.

IMHO The new gnome3 web site is a total failure in that regard and once Gnome3 is out of the door and the backlash happens they will wish they did a better job at explaining Gnome3.

The Unity site is even worse.

Hi kragilkragil,

What kind of questions do you have in mind? Could you assist a little and send something to marketing-list@gnome.org (please also subscribe, see http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list). A list of questions you'd like to see answered would be much appreciated. Obviously, if you'd want to assist with taking screenshots and getting good answers (takes a lot of effort to explain things in an understandable way) that would be appreciated as well :)

Thanks
