KOffice Instruction Player & summer of code thank you

I just read the Summer of Code / Programmeerzomer results on
the dot and I'm 
very impressed, thank you all for making KOffice better. I
also had to think 
about how much time will be spend on explaining these
features to users in 
documentation and tutorials which have yet to be written and
how much easier 
it would be if the developer could simply just showcase the
usage by 
recording actions and giving audio comment, which in turn
could lead to other 
users demonstrating very creative usages of KOffice
features.

Those on IRC last night know what I'm getting at, asking
for the further 
development of the KOffice Instruction Player / Recorder,
which would like 
the commercial kdexecutor record and playback user interface
events but 
additionally would record audio comments so that we get real
time 
instructions which can be mimicked step by step to get to a
certain end 
result and thereby teaches users how to use functions of
KOffice without lots 
of reading. Learning by doing.

It is more then just an idea. I have already evaluated the
workflow and 
designed a 'paper interface' to match. I'm not a coder so
I wrote a manual 
which describes the stages and which can help with coding. I
hope you'll all 
read the Instruction Player.odt and that one of you can find
the time to 
develop it.

It would surely ease the acceptance of KOffice as a whole
when its usage and 
capabilities can be demonstrated by KOffice itself.

Thanks for your time,
Dennis Pennekamp
