Screencasting & documentation for clients
Screencasts: great for repeatable ‘how to’ for clients, especially remote.
Screencast software for linux?
How do people provide documentation and help to clients?
Various approaches depending on size of project.
Site specific inline help in forms and admin pages
Tour module coming for Drupal 8 https://drupal.org/developing/api/tour
Advanced help module in Drupal 7 https://drupal.org/project/advanced_help
Questions:
Application that is PHP based, opportunity to move the whole product into Drupal. If we package up a product with Drupal (GPL) and give it to the client, do we need to GPL all our code?
The hive mind thinks that this is not an issue!
