Laura and others, regarding description versus instructions and regarding presentation, format, general quality of instructions. This is an ongoing discussion subject and there is some work in progress so it is certainly the right time to give feedback, advice and any comments. To name a few of the places where this happens, I would be very thankful for your opinions with replies in discussions [1-5] and especially comments on proposals and mockups [6,7].
