Sean,
We have launched many full-length and short videos in our help site. We have embedded a link to the short videos in our documentation and have a page of full-length videos for people to view.
Embedded videos in training documents, as well as all the docs we have, can be found at:
http://tracsfacts.its.txstate.edu/Documents.html
Full length faculty training videos can be found at:
http://tracsfacts.its.txstate.edu/Faculty-and-Staff/videotutorialsfac.html
and Student videos can be found at:
http://tracsfacts.its.txstate.edu/Students/videotutorials.html
Hope this helps!

A correction to the e-mail I sent on Friday: The Sakai implementation registry file that Google?s crawler encountered a failure on is actually located on sakaiproject.org, not sakaibrary.org.

Hi all,
According to Google, this problem was caused by a failure when Google's crawler last tried to retrieve the registry of Sakai Citations Helper implementations from sakaibrary.org<http://sakaibrary.org>. Unfortunately, they also report that it won't be fixed until sometime next week when Google next crawls sakaibrary.org<http://sakaibrary.org>.
I plan to work with Google to try to find a better solution for hosting this registry so that we won't run into this problem again.

Mame Awa Diop,
This looks like something happening (or not happening) on Google's end. We will check into it.
Thanks.

Hi guys,
We just realised that there is no longer the option "Import in Sakai" in the Google Scholar search page in our Sakai instances. We don't know exactly when it desappeared but it used to be there.
I checked the nightly build (http://nightly2.sakaiproject.org:8087/portal/) and the option isn't there either.
Do you guys know if something has changed or do we need some more configuration to avoid these kind of behaviours?

I'm on a screencast kick. Well...more like a screencast search kick.
For those that don't know, I've been maintaining the sakaiproject.org
site for a month and answering general questions from new folks that
come to the sakaiproject.org web site. I was just asked a pretty basic
question that went something like:
"I just got Sakai installed on my machine and I logged in as the admin
user. Now what?"
I pointed him to confluence, Sakai Help and the reference docs
included with Sakai, but I really wanted to be able to point him to a
60-90 second screencast that showed how to add users, create a course
site and add some tools (the down and dirty basics) but I don't see
any of them out there. I googled for "Sakai Worksite Setup" videos and
saw my own setup for a portfolio site. Not exactly what I wanted!
I have a gut feeling that similar videos for setting up a gradebook,
creating and grading assignments and delivering a test (and probably a
million more) would be sweet little nuggets to highlight some Sakai
benefits for the new user or someone who is Sakai-curious. It's about
time our web site had it!
I could envision a section of the site about "the basics"
(assignments, tests and quizzes, gradebooks and discussion tools) and
a section for "advanced" uses (wikis, portfolios, blogs, podcasts,
etc.)
While the online text help is quite extensive and of high quality, I
believe that it may not be the best way to share that knowledge with
the general public.
I'm sure that the community has made some of this material. If we
haven't, I'd like to get some folks together that share some energy
around it and coordinate a new section of the site all about that. I'd
be happy to do it online or at the conference.
