Hm, I think you may have the wrong tense. I think the one basic question that users will have is: Why doesn't this plugin work? It's a LV2 plugin, this is an LV2 host. Why doesn't it appear in the menu? Or, if it appears in the menu, why does it appear there but not actually work at all? Or, why doesn't it look cool like it does in the screenshots on the plugin's website, or like it does in other-host-Y? In other words, how can we convey the answers to questions like these to users who haven't actually bothered to read any documentation beforehand? (i.e. all users) And how do we do that without being really annoying about it (e.g. having half the plugins in the menu pop up an error dialog when you try to select them)?
