Dave,

They may have used viewlet builder, http://www.qarbon.com/presentation-software/viewletbuilder/. It works well and IBM has a site license.

Thanks! 
The hardest part about the audio was kids and dogs (background noise). I don't exactly have a recording studio. 
Although I think I can record audio per slide, getting it timed right with the transitions is tricky unless you just do it all at once. 
Other than that, you just get a microphone and hit the record button. 
The Eclipse Ajax Toolkit Framework guys have a really nice set of flash demos of their stuff http://www.eclipse.org/atf/flash/index.php 
Looks like it's screen shots and balloons rolled into a flash thingy. I have seen similar with audio. 
It would be pretty cool if we had install, and initial CIMOM configure, discover, probe, etc flash demos.

Dave, 
This is brilliant.  This is the kind of thing that we need to do to assist our consumers in various areas.  Was it easy to do the audio?  It sounded great from where I am.   

Cheers,   Tom

Hi All, 
 
I have completed the UI design for the web based report viewer demoed last Wednesday 2/27 at the Aperi design meeting. 
Since we are not meeting again until next Wednesday and the schedule says I get the design done this week I created a narrated power point slide show (sorry, its the hammer I got when I took this job) and uploaded it to the Aperi web page where it is accesible via the Wiki: 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Aperi/architecture#R3_Designs 
There are two versions, one in plain ol' ppt and one in HTML. 
To get the audio to work in the HTML version you need to use IE as it relies on some ActiveX controls (again, sorry. Can anyone tell me what is a good demo/slide show recorder that produces something more neutral like flash?) 
In either case run it as a slide show with your speakers turned on. IE requires you to hold down the control key when clikcing the slide show button to enable the pop-up. 
20 slides, running time is about 25 minutes. 
 
The UI looks very Windows XPish in these slides since I was using Visio for the mock up. 
In real life it will look like the RCP GUI framework and dojo widgets. 
 
There were a couple of points I forgot to make in the narration: 
Slide 6 Basic Concept: everything in the left pane (navigation) is written by Aperi, while everything in the right pane (report view) is straight off the shelf BIRT. 
Slide 10 Operations on the Repository: Every action that effects the repository is reflected immediately in the navaigation view. 
 
Also a couple of minor glitches: 
You will notice that the early slides are missing a checkbox in the view control section of the navigation pane that shows up later. 
The 'tree' in the navaigation view shows two 'disk' directories at the same level. Obviously, that couldn't really happen. 
 
I am steaming ahead with the implementation, so if there is anything really major I missed or messed up let me know ASAP.
