It does indeed seem very helpful, but even better to hear that the team
is making time for user testing.
Perhaps a blog post about that would be a great read, not only to better
appreciate the thinking behind changes but also to inspire your audience
of developers to adopt similar methodologies.
So much of software success these days is based around UX far more than
algorithms. Encouraging good design practice helps your audience be
more successful, and raises the visibility of the platform as a whole
along the way.
Supporting these efforts to better serve new users, have you had a
moment to consider this quickie?:
Bug 19511 - UX: Move "User Guide" higher in the Help menu
<http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=19511>
An investment of just a few minutes can help make learning resources
much more readily discoverable.
If you have time for further refinement of other items in the Help menu
I'm at your service, feel free to call anytime.
But if a first pass were limited to the very minor suggestions outlined
there, I believe it would cut down on some of the forum posts stemming
from people not knowing LC ships with a wonderfully comprehensive User
Guide.
