How to use Loomio - walkthrough/demo/screencast

RDB Richard D. Bartlett Public Seen by 75

I'm working on a video to make it really easy for new users to get oriented in Loomio. It'll go on loomio.org/how-it-works and linked somewhere in the app (maybe there'll be a little robot character on the Home page that will pop up this video).

The plan is to get Lance to copy (and significantly improve) my illustration, this is just a quick test to see what's going to work. This is a really early sketch but I'm throwing it up for comment before I put more than a couple hours work into it.

From the feedback I've already received, I think it would be good to get rid of all/most of the zooming, and replace it with highlighting areas of interest. We could have the Loomio Helper Bot zooming around with a highlighter pen?

The script is intentionally light on detail, the idea is just to give enough information to get a new user feeling comfortable enough to play around, not to demo every feature. Is there anything sorely missing? Should I run through the 'Start a proposal' procedure?

I also got a bit stuck on the end, what should I add to round that out?

Here's the script

Hi Wilhelm the finished product will look and sound almost nothing like the example shown, that was just a rough sketch to get the concept moving.

I love it.

Idea: Ask some of our disengaged organisations for feedback on the video.

I was thinking of putting in a little Helper Bot on each page of the app. Click on the bot to pop up the walk through video:
