From Buzztard

The idea is to show tips in the apps after startup.

[edit] Idea

• Don't show the tip, if we show the about box after a version upgrade.
• Have application (bt-edit,bt-live,...) specific tips
• Allow to turn of tips (show tips option in help menu)

[edit] Questions

• Where do we store tips?
  • array with messages, that can be translated in the po file?
  • downloadable tips text file (one tip per line)?

[edit] Existing Implementations

• gimp : tips-dialog.c, tips-dialog.h, tips-parser.c, tips-parser.h

[edit] Tips

• "New machines are added in machine view from the context menu"
• "Songs can be recoderd as single waves per track to give it to remixers"
• "Fill the details on the info page. When recording songs the metadata is added to the recording as tags"
• "Use jackaudio sink in audio device settings to get lower latencies for live machine control"
• "You can use input devices such as joysticks, beside midi devices to live control machine parameters"
• "You can use a upnp media client (e.g. media streamer on nokia tablets) to remote control buzztard"
