[This post was originally a [Django Commons discussion](https://github.com/orgs/django-commons/discussions/150) and moved to the Django Forum]

One of the great ideas from the maintainer-contributor meet-up thread was for [maintainers to create videos ahead of time](https://github.com/orgs/django-commons/discussions/136#discussioncomment-11574220).

This came up in a recent Django Commons admins meeting and @cunla offered to do a trial run. I’m starting this discussion in case others have ideas.

Video structure idea:

1. (15s) Introduce presenter
2. (15s) Introduce project with brief description
3. Demo installing the project in a Django application
4. Demo one to three of the main features of the project
5. Cover the high level architecture of the project
6. Cover main flows of logic
7. [Optionally] Highlight areas of complexity (the “thar be dragons here” part of the project)
8. Questions from viewers (does this fit?)
9. Where does the project need help?
10. Who can help on the project and how can they get started?
11. What would you expect from a person to become a maintainer?
