What's your reasoning behind this? I think the GS videos are a strong asset
of our getting started experience. Replacing them with static images is a
step back imho.

Okay, you're right. There's one page in gnome-help which overlaps with
getting-started. Seems like an easy fix, though. Let's just remove
"Introduction to GNOME" since it's very descriptive and doesn't really fit
in with the rest of topic-based content in gnome-help. We don't need that
page.
