True. (Especially since I like to think of myself as one of them. :-)
I'm not sure what to suggest here; we (or at least I :-) really want
something that minimizes effort for the latter while maximizing effort
for the former. About all I can think of is to keep READMEs terse, so
they're informative but not handholding - ie, useful to "busy people of
clue", probably even more useful than having to wade through a
handholding document would be, but still pretty useless to the
room-temperature IQ crowd.
