Description Michael Scharf CLA 2006-09-20 20:44:42 EDT
The tutorial at http://www.eclipse.org/mylar/doc/demo/mylar-demo-04-reports.html it totally out of date. 
I'm about to create a new tutorial... 
This bug entry is part of the tutorial...
Comment 1 Michael Scharf CLA 2006-09-20 21:19:35 EDT
I added a quick tutorial to
  http://www.scharf.gr/eclipse/mylar/BugzillaTutorial01/
When I understand it better I'll add some more...

It is available under EPL.

Nice!  If you attach it to this bug report (e.g. as a ZIP), we can put it up on the web site, and credit you there. Not sure if you will need them, but note that the sources for all our videos are under the web site CVS in mylar/doc/demo.  So you could also make patches to that, but not for binary files.  Fyi instructions for checking out the web component are here, but we're gradually moving more docs to the wiki: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylar_Contributor_Reference#Web_site_authoring

If case you want to update any of the getting started documentation it's now ready for contribution the wiki: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylar_User_Guide

Btw, I'll also forward you a couple of developerWork article drafts in case those are helpful for making videos.
Comment 4 Michael Scharf CLA 2006-09-22 11:08:41 EDT
I'll create some new tutorial, when I'm more familiar with mylar...
Comment 5 Willian Mitsuda CLA 2006-09-29 10:36:12 EDT
Another useful idea is to have cheat sheets for common tasks, e.g.: create a bugzilla report, create a query, etc...
Comment 6 Mik Kersten CLA 2006-09-29 13:34:38 EDT
Willian: could you create a new bug for the Cheat Sheets if you want them.  Warning: I might mark it helpwanted for now ;)  
Comment 7 Willian Mitsuda CLA 2006-09-29 17:32:26 EDT
Well, in truth I don't need them because I already know how to use the bugzilla integration... :)

But it would help users who begin to use mylar. The point is that before this, need to encapsulate some functionalities into commands.

I'll take a look at this when have some time. This would be a good excuse to learn how to make a cheat sheet ;)
Comment 8 Mik Kersten CLA 2006-09-29 21:32:45 EDT
We should be providing handlers in the next 2-3 weeks, see bug 145884 and bug us if you end up getting to cheat sheets and missing some that you need. 
Comment 9 Mik Kersten CLA 2006-12-04 16:28:42 EST
We will be adding flash videos covering the core 1.0 features shortly.

Michael: if you're interested in contributing additional flash videos let us know.

Sorry, wrong change to title.

Michael: I also meant to mention that we can link additional tutorial videos from the web site, just comment on bug 165949.
