Cool. Just wanted to be clear.



2) How long each slide displays for?
 
Not up to us, that's the scripting. I think maybe a minute?


A very important priority to find this out.

Will it be overall install time divided by 5 - or will the slides loop?






3) The word count/limit per slide

Depends on 2.


Finding this number should be really, really high on the To Do list!





 
4) The subject/theme for each slide

What we've been trying to discuss.

Indeed.





5) Will content be localised for different languages?

Probably not for Mga2, maybe 3.

Good to know. Thanks! Saves a LOT of work.






After this we can work out more detailed text and any image(s) for each slide.

We should start that NOW.


With due respect, how can you paint a house until you build the walls? You need structure. Hence getting a word limit and overall topic for each slide first.

You cannot just write words. No writer does this. You start with structure - theme and word count.

If the limit is 5 big words and 20 smaller words (for example) that dictates everything we are trying to write. It is pointless to come up with words without a proper format.

So I'm establishing the order in which this process needs to be tackled, if we are being professional. A free-for-all over words is not efficient.

If my help is not wanted, I'll step back quietly. Just let me know!





Also, why start a new thread for this topic?

I'm sorry if this is not correct procedure. I wanted a straight answer to some points and I'm getting about 100 emails a day on various Mageia subjects. So I did it for "clarity" as labelled in the subject. This is a forked sub-subject about organising and I wanted to treat it as such.






(Additionally, sound during install should have an option to mute - a "ta da" sound after installing in business environments may be inappropriate. Especially on multiple machines in a single environment. Just saying.)
