Re: www.gnustep.org should change screenshot

[Banlu Kemiyatorn]

Hope this doesn't sound like a heresy. But using YouTube on the front
page to demonstrate screenshots along with other advertisements may
not be that bad. Could be like 1 minute. I can make a video if a
script is provided and may be mixed down with some developers'
speeches.

I can make something like this one below which take 2 days (but for
this I can work on this much longer), nothing related just to give
some inspirations and showing my capability so you don't expect a
fully commercial grade advertisement, or may be we can?
