Your fight.
Yes, I could have- if I had worked non stop for the last few days and did nothing else. Building this into an HTML guide like Read
ErMaC & AbsoluteDestiny's Friendly AMV Guides is considerably more work than each individual sticky is. BBcode is far less complex than HTML. To me at least, and I'm to one having to do it.
As far as I can tell, I am not even sure we have fifteen editors, because that's assuming every one of the fifteen I am counting is actually around and active. I also note that several of them have processes that work for them, and I am not even sure they need help, or what they need help with.
I wanted opinions so I could find out what we, not just what Kio, want to give to those that come after.
As for motivating people to edit on macs? I don't think that's a valid goal. Mac editors are either people who ended up with a mac because of work or school, trying to get into the industry, etc. Or younger folks that have a mac as a first computer. I don't think there is much movement on the Org for people who are thinking, "Gee, if only someone would really, really tell me why I should edit on a mac." Besides, the biggest reasons I am on Mac have nothing to do with the actual editing process, or footage prep, it has to do with what I consider backup security and general system stability, as well as my own opinions of workflow through an OS interface. I just don't foresee anyone using the Mac guides as a reason to switch. Nor am I advocating they do so.
