That's an idea. Painful but very useful.

And I meant: the users like to think they are dumb. The only thing we
can do is to confort them in their belief and slowly make them realize
they're not so dumb after all. PD needs a marketing strategy, something
like "Think <whatever>". What about a clickable installer, integration
of many externals, good documentation and tutorials? Thats's what users
are expecting, nothing less. No need for big gurus for this to happen.
