No problem, I was hoping to get them to you eventually I just kinda
forgot about them for a few months.

Sounds good, I've not really used launchpad for anything more than bug
reports and answers. So I feel a screencast request coming on.

At first I thought it would have to done through a overlay that gets
muxed into the video file. That would create quite a bit of work and
it's difficult to turn them off, which is annoying. Then I found some
media player will use these .srt files. Unfortunately that means you
have to download a separate file rather than just one. I don't know
whether Flash has any support for subtitles during streaming or how easy
it will be to add them.

I've finished the subtitles for the first introduction screencast.
Please check them over, I'm not 100% about the grammar, but that's
always tricky.
