MoS2007 Initial Schedule

[Alan Pope]

*gulp* 

Here's the plan:-

Each line is one days screencast with some more detail specified on the
indented line below. Week 3 and 4 I am really unsure about. Week 1 and 2
I am quite happy with (although I am not sure people _really_ need to
hear about licensing so early on - maybe that should be quite a short
screencast) :) I don't want to scare people off.
