[Galene] Galene user guide

[Michael McMahon]

Hi!

I've got a volunteer interested in doing some technical writing for my 
organization. One of the most frequent requests I have received lately 
is whether Galene has user documentation. The user experience is 
intuitive to me, but some people like a manual before approaching 
something new.

Would you be interested in a user guide for Galene?

Best,
Michael

I would be very grateful for help with Galene's documentation.

Perhaps you could get me in touch with the volunteer, so they can explain
what exactly they have in mind?

Absolutely.

As there is a very large body of users that is not conceptually thinking of how video conferencing in general works - or has seen so many that they intuitively grasp the concept.  I.e I find that people struggle - even tough (or especially) as they use some other product in their corporate setting many times a day.

So what would be generally useful is

-	a very short primer/single page that can be sent as an attachment with meeting invites or similarly.

	bonus if this is windows / mac (safari) and chrome specific or neutral.
	
-	enough of a sepeare manual for moderators/presenters who are not familiar with that job at all; or are - but went through, say, Teams or Zoom specific training for exactly this.

-	a dead normal, at leisure,  user manual with lots of pictures and also the more conceptual things  - such as giving permission, etc.

And extra bonus if it is in something like LaTeX or very skinnable CSS :)

With kind regards,

Dw
