So maybe this is just an inside gig for those with some background in computers.
If it is, then you won't be interested in the rest of this email. But, if you
would like these programs to branch out into the larger world of people, you may
want to try to think like again like a human and not a programmer. Even withen
the program itself there are things I don't understand, such as when trying to
open something from another processor, it says "filter selection"- a pair of
words with mean absolutely nothing to someone who doesn't work with computers.
Would there be something wrong with writing what you mean? Why not: Choose the
program this file was created in. Also, during the installation there was
something about Java environments. I have never worked with Java. This does not
mean I am an idiot. It merely means my job does not involve computers. So, all I
am saying is, instead of putting, in the help section for that section of the
install, a bunch of useless things such as "select a java environment here, or
look for one somewhere else" or "if you don't have a java environment available,
the program won't run completely" how about a sentence on what a java enviroment
is or where it can be found. Many of the "help" buttons prove useless for
someone who doesn't know how to programs themselves. So basically I am saying
that this whole thing struck me as a by-computer-guys-for-computer-guys kind of
thing, and I found myself embarrassed about not knowing what certain things
meant that I would never, in reality, be faced with knowing. So if you want this
to be a wider success it will need to make more apparent sense on a human level.
