Hello,

I'm a beginner and appreciate anyone's efforts to make all 
this more comprehensible. 

I doubt anyone is going to retire on the income from this 
sort of project, so merely considering a small charge hardly 
makes this rise to the level of a major commercial 
enterprise. Lighten up guys! If it gets there, great. Then 
pay for regular advertising. Since it's not there yet, I'd be 
interested in knowing about it. It's not a brief, well 
labeled ATM post that clogs my inbox. If that starts 
happening, that's another matter. After all, no one complains 
about signature lines that refer to a business.

Suggestions? Sure. When designing the package, consider the 
least common denominator of knowledge possessed by your 
target user. Don't assume anything. Provide levels of help so 
that someone experienced and knowledgeable can quickly find 
out how to do something, and others can get as much as they 
may need. 

Charging is up to you, but when I consider what's already 
available free - including unrelated things like Cartes, I 
think you should consider this a labor of love, or make it so 
good we'll gladly pay.

Cheers!

Gary Fuchs
