Noufal Ibrahim has resumed his EmacsMovies series. This time it’s part 1 of a series on Gnus. Gnus is famously complex so Ibrahim’s taking the subject in smaller bites makes sense. As it is, the video is over 21 minutes long.
I’ve often thought about learning Gnus but its fierce reputation always persuaded me to explore some other aspect of Emacs instead. Thus, I’m looking forward to this series to goad me into finally taking a serious look at it. This first video is really just an introduction to Gnus and doesn’t get into the details; presumably subsequent videos will deal with the nitty gritty.
I had a small problem with the video. I was unable to get it to expand to full screen—in either Safari or Chrome—and the default size is too small to read comfortably (at least for my eyes). Because of this, I had a hard time following part of the presentation. I don’t remember this happening with the previous videos so perhaps this problem will resolve itself in subsequent videos.
