Welcome Jentzen

I worked as a physics engine video game programmer for 2 years.  I am now
developing with blender.  I would like to work on quality assurance programs
for blender users.  Blender is a fantastic tool, but it is occasionally
frustrating beacuse development is moving so quickly and GUI / features
change each month.  Documentation is having a hard time keeping up.  There
are so many fantastic video tutorials out there.  I often find one exactly
on the topic i require, but it's from a 6 month old version of blender and
now it's almost useless :( .

I think a classroom of students is a great way to gather a lot of quality
feedback on the intuitiveness of the program.  I would recommend finding an
experienced blender artist who can troubleshoot for you on
blenderartists.org.  I would be willing to offer scripting/code
animation/simulation troubleshooting in exchange for some information from
your students on how they find working with blender.

Some of my video tutorials can be found at
http://www.opresume.com/kestenBroughton/Portfolio.aspx

good luck!
