Record overpass tutorial videos "Writing overpass with drolbr"

[tordans]

I am wondering, if there is a way to produce more educational content about overpass that is convenient for the content-consumers and fast to produce for the content-creator.

I am reading https://dev.overpass-api.de/blog/counting_roundabouts.html which is a great post with lots of knowledge that is hard to come by.

I would love to see more of those, but I image those are very time consuming to produce.

How about testing a few screen-recording style tutorials. Something simple like record screen + (optional) facecam like in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRPbdPC29vI.

Each video could have a topic, like for example https://dev.overpass-api.de/overpass-doc/de/counting/index.html and https://dev.overpass-api.de/overpass-doc/de/analysis/index.html. Both chapters are not written, yet, but someone really knowledgeable with overpass could probably create a show-and-tell style video without much preparation (worst that happens is, the result does not work, which will still help understanding the debugging steps!).

While I understand that video might attract again a different audience, they are way of out scope with regard to the necessary effort.

My conference talks are usually at a ratio of 1:30 to 1:60, i.e. one hour talk requires 30 to 60 hours preparation. Videos for the online conferences tended to be worse, and I'm currently running the entire project on 5-10 hours per week.
