I'm thinking that some of the apps with more complicated UIs could do
with a screenshot - so when we talk about "choose <foo> from the
left-hand pane" the screenshot gives more of an ah-ah! factor.<br>
<br>
Thinking about it, we could well recycle some of the Dapper Flight
screenshots that've already been taken and are already in our SVN. I'll
have a look through them and see what we can see.<br>
<br>
So, shots for the following:<br>
<br>
- Add/Remove Applications<br>
- Synaptic<br>
- in the Adding Repos section, one or more of some stage of adding repos in Synaptic<br>
<br>
Some of the individual apps could get screenshots, if we've already got them from the Flight shots or if people are inspired.<br>
<br>
One that could do with a screenshot is Alacarte, the menu editor - again, it's a multi-pane UI.<br>
<br>
One of the whole desktop, maybe with one of the menus+submenus open, would be nice for somewhere in the intro section.<br>
