Add to previous post: It appears some of the issue were covered in FAQ. I do recall going there for a quick look as part of overviewing all the sources of information. I tend to use FAQ with specific issues, not overview.
In above I see a downloadable pdf with much of the information, including FAQ, technical overview, etc, all in the one document. Like the typical manual. I look for those, and do read through them. Sometimes it is good to sit down and just read all about a program, particularly one with many functions as hugin. It comes with the program download. My typical process is: Read about program, will this do what I need. If yes ... or think so ... Down load program. Open it have a quick look and see, including menu items, and help files. Quick overivew. Open documentation (s). See things I have seen in quick overview referred to in the documentation. Read through, scan for different sections, read basics. Go play with program. Connect what I see with what is in manual/ documentation. Go back and read the manual again, focusing on areas I can identify with play to learn fully, while practicing in program. This is for full understanding or mastery of those areas. Once I have mastered what I want to use it for, and possibly play with some new capacities I have found, I retain a knowledge of other tasks it is capable of doing that I have no need for yet. When I have need, I know that capacity exists and go back to the notes/manual to learn that extra area. Technical issues. If I have checked downloaded documentation, help files, I go to web search, groups, searching for others that have met this problem. I find this not so easy. I seem to be hopeless at search terms. Often I find a reference to the problem, but once solved, the posters did not take the time to leave a clear explanation of the resolution of the problem. Something I have been guilty of in the past, but try to do so now. So those who come after do infact have a clearly layed out *solution* to follow. I am writing this, as I thought it might help to hear the behaviour and process of a typical, "just use computers to do stuff", person. I do think a manual downloading with Huggin, with much information and technical overview all in one place - while rather old fashioned, does work well with a lot of potential users. It also means you can sit and read while not online. Where I am, being on line is not some ever present in the background reality.
