Mini-lesson: Patch rolling!
NEW: Mini-lessons! Please, if you guys have a few minutes to spare, the next time you approach a difficult task, consider recording your solution to it - fame and fortune could be yours! For information on how to record a screencast, drop by #drupal-dojo and we'll help you as best we can. We may soon have a screencast explaining how to establish a screencast!
Add1sun sez:
"Hey all, I created a little video on how to roll patches the other night when I had an easy patch to do. It is not the best quality since I didn't really plan it out ahead of time but folks new to patching may find it helpful. I also wanted to show you don't have to be patching "code" but that you can also do patches for documentation. It has been added to the Patches section of the Handbook since you really should read the patch documentation and not just watch the vid. ;)
Here is a direct link to the Handbook page: Video: how to patch. We also have a torrent for it thanks to Shaal (it is 26 MB):
And, please, be kind - I do realize that the size, subtitles and general cruft are pretty awful. Just concentrate on the content. :)"
As an added bonus to all ye out there, I (Squidster) will do my best to draw a little illustration to match accepted videos. So... fame and illustration!
Senpai adds: If you people will but submit a 2 minute video that demonstrates a technique within Drupal that needs some visual documentation, Squid-star will draw you a pretty picture! You can even use this graphic on your own site if you wanna, so get crackin! Send us your vids!
