4.Further comments

Contributed videos will be selected on quality, relevance, up to dateness and absence of overlap. For demonstrations on how to use the keyboard or mouse, please make sure that a small keyboard viewer and the mouse pointer are visible on the video.

One recommended free video/audio format is Ogg/Vorbis. Popular softwares for making screencasts are VLC (under GNU/Linux) and Quicktime (under MacOS, with postconversion to a free format). Contributors should agree that the videos will be distributed under a free license (GPL or FDL).
