I was talking about the lack of user documentation.
New additions bring new features and functionalities to the UMIT
interface, but they also created a little bit of confusion for the
regular user.
Yes probably the improving of the GUI it's an idea but I would suggest
to create some kind of user documentation, to help the new user
understand this kind of functionality inherited from our branches.

I'm agree with you, maybe I've been misunderstood. The point is that
we need user documentation for the upcoming 1.0 release to gain a
complete software to propose.
This is my opinion.
