Video tutorials for Nirvana
I have been using Nirvana for quite a long time and I am liking the program more and more every day. One of the reasons for this is of course the fact that new functionality is constantly being added. But this also makes the program more complex, especially for new users.
So my suggestion would be that you make some kind of video tutorial(s) on how to use Nirvana as soon as you go out of beta. And if you don't have the time to do it yourselves, I suppose that you could always get someone else to do it for you. My suggestion in that case would be to have a chat with Don McAllister. He has done some amazing video tutorials for other programs over at http://www.screencastsonline.com and as video podcasts on iTunes. I believe that he usually only does Mac programs but since Nirvana runs on every platform, that shouldn't be a problem.
So that's it, a humble suggestion from a very happy puppy (i.e. Nirvana user).

Elurven,
I have contemplated making some tutorials for Nirvana but things have been changing rapidly lately and the videos would be outdated quickly.
Maybe when Nirvana goes live, I can cook something up until Nirvana has their official videos ready. :-)
P.S. I am not Don McAllister, but I can try to do a descent job. :-)

Ha, ha, well that is a very good suggestion Proximo :-)! And I'm sure that you may very well be the next Don McAllister in the making. Although, without the British accent I would suppose ;-)...

Yep, we need new videos AND knowledgebase articles.
I suspect that KB articles will be before launch and most videos after.
They are both on the list.
@Proximo -- thanks, I suspect we wouldn't turn down your help if you have the time :-)
Thanks,
David

@Proximo Sounds interesting. My Swedish accent is probably best left out of the mix though ;-)...

WTH, multi-lingual videos with sub-titles - I like it ;-)
