I've just found a post in kicad.info posted 5 days ago by a user, with one example that illustrate the perception and the first impression that someone got: https://forum.kicad.info/t/eager-to-begin-but-dont-know-how/700 hast66: "On most software sites I see a green download button and within a few minutes one can start working with the latest updated vesion. I'm missing such a button on Kicad homepage. I read about builds, old stable and since english is not my motherlanguage, I'm losing track." nickoe: "So you never arrived to this page? http://www.kicad-pcb.org/display/KICAD/Installing+KiCad"; hast66: "yes I've read that page but as said, my English is not so good. And when I read words like "testing purposes" and "bugs", I'm not so eager to download. I believe that a simple green dowload button which leads to the latest stable version would increase the number of Kicad users. At your link, should I just DL one of the 11 march versions or is there someting more to do. (I'm on Windows 7) What is the difference with the earlier versions?" It is very clear from this, what this type of user was expecting, the fears and as a bonus he gives some suggestions... and download and install kicad ! :) .. but maybe others didn't install it because that :/ Regards, Mario Luzeiro _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
