Videos showing new features/tools/icons/dialog boxes from the new version would be amaaazing!
I loved when the libregraphicsworld.org was updated and showed all sorts of cool videos on open source apps around the web. Like krita blender inkscape and myPaint.
Regarding outeach and PR, remember, we have a video that we displayed
at the LGM conference. It got a lot of applause, and a suggestion from
the speaker to the audience that everyone consider doing a video next
year. *^.^*
I can revise it to replace features that did not make it into the 0.93
release, and replace them with features that did make it in.
For reference, the video is here:

Other things that need replacing is the 0.91 > 0.92, and the
screenshot of the website after we know what the new artwork from the
about screen contest is. :)
Any updates would be helpful towards this goal.
Thanks!
