I have used Gallery for years. Recently I tried to teach a couple of people to use an installed G2. They are experienced pc user but have little-more-than-none knowledge on online albums. I am quite used to brief people of various backgrounds on technical things. But on the first 5 minutes both of my students started to confuse and in the next 15 minutes they sought excuses to escape from learning it :(

I know they will be better off if I tune my speed 10 times slower. But I don't have that much time to spend on them and they have to become expert users asap. So I was wondering if there is any dummy guide for Gallery.

I have seen books for postnuke, phpnuke, xoops, and as such, but none on Gallery. I really wish there is one for Gallery, even for G1 would be good! Anyone?

For G1, there are more and more docs (here and on codex.gallery2.org).
For G2, there exist nearly no docs. This will change in 1-2 months.

valiant, thanks for telling the codex which I didn't know. Will check it out as well as the future G2 docs. I hope those G1 docs authors will beef up their writings to make a book. I have the contacts of an ebay dummy guide author who may help linking up to a publisher. Contact me when needed : )
