Making use of video capture to document some aspects of GUI
reusing material for GUI context help and web site (e.g. providing links to web site within GUI)
Generating tutorials in the form of ppts so they can be reused for talks and are more likely to be kept up to date
providing access to C++ API documentation (i.e. Doxygen doc)
GUI capabilities that we should invest the time in to simplify and reduce/eliminate documentation need
