howto demo website

[Greg Rundlett]

Anybody have suggestions for good (free software) tools for recording and 
playing back a website demo? I built an application that has a web frontend, 
and I want to record user interaction through the site so that I can do 
demonstrations of the application without requiring the live application. 
Say for doing training, or documentation.

I know that with webhtttrack[1] that I can download a static copy of a 
dynamically generated site, with the drawback that I would need to configure 
it so that I would get the pieces that I wanted, and might actually have a 
difficult time of getting a specific use case (imagine submitting a ticket 
to a system -- you don't copy that process, you perform (and record) it.

I know that with GIMP[2] and a browser[3] that I could easily compose 
several screen captures.

I know that with s5[4] I can generate a nice slideshow presentation once I 
have the graphics.

I'm thinking that the combination of 2, 3 and 4 are my best bet.
