+</I>&gt;<i> more well known Windows equivalents, we can no longer leave
+</I>&gt;<i> them in the dark and pretend that they doesn't use our

+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Some of the key points above can also be adopted in general.
+</I>&gt;<i> Our graphical tools needs to be more verbose than they're
+</I>&gt;<i> are today. Remember which group we target and the sad state
+</I>&gt;<i> of some of those users experience/skills. Some of them needs
+</I>&gt;<i> to be spoon feed with information and I guess we could do that.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Let's show them that we're more than just zealots, hackers,
+</I>&gt;<i> greasemonkeys and elitist by making something the common
+</I>&gt;<i> person feels comfortable with too.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Sincerely,
+</I>&gt;<i> Olav

+I think detailed bug reports with suggestions on what needs to be
+improved and how it can be improved can be a first step.
