Thank you for the tips Ryan. I will give the user guide a good look as well as
take on your other suggestions.

I think in general your looking over the User Guide could provide the
hit-list you need, along with any questions you might have when trying
to use Haiku yourself. It may be harder for those of us who are more
experienced to see things with the eyes of a new user. Though many of
us here could certainly provide some ideas for highlighting some of
Haiku's more unique features.
If any other new users are listening I think it could be helpful if
could provide any input you have on problems you had when you first
started using Haiku.
Also from the top of my head it might make sense to make the videos
from a perspective of transitioning someone from the other operating
systems. Haiku has quite a bit in common with Windows, Mac OS X and
Linux, and that could be used to quickly get users going by just
highlighting some differences (like the default Mac-style key-bindings
of Alt as the command key, instead of Ctrl like on Windows and Linux.)
Finally if I might make a suggestion, maybe the first video could be
something simple and short (4 or 5 minutes) that highlights the Haiku
install process, sort of a video version of
