	That's cool. I think the main point is that it gets in a format that
can be understood, and clearly understood, by the common person so that
it can help to avoid dumb questions here. But from what I see, the
documentation has to change its structure. Or maybe not even changing
the documentation per se, but making a new, parallel, dumbed-down
documentation full of pictures and such so that users can read it
without having to understand too many technical concepts.

	Best regards,
