I've also read that readme files isn't for real programmers either, but where are those programmers now?

I think Video Tutorials just take advantage of an extra medium. You get to see whats going on in the desktop that you couldn't see unless you were actually there. Anyone have a plane ticket to the Ukraine?

Seriously I don't see how it's bad, unless you have a horrible kackle. The Germans seem to pull off a perfectly good video explaining their own projects. Then again it is nice to see visual demos of what your project is doing. Darthman does a great job with this for example. It also gets more people interested in your project, and for that alone it should be worth it.

Just a few tips from a guy who has learned a few things over the past 10 years.
