Hi everyone,

Very interesting points being raised about approaching Csound from the 
beginning. Reminds me a little of a book that I read about promoting music 
online (http://www.amazon.co.uk/DIY-Music-Manual-Promote-
Distribute/dp/0091927927) with a chapter on web design.

When designing a site for a musician/composer/etc, the authors 
suggested 'roleplaying' a different type of user each time. For example, what 
a computer music enthusiast might want to see upon searching for Csound 
(examples of code, frontends, comparison charts) obviously differs greatly 
from what a casual electronic music listener might want to encounter (music 
examples, instant gratification, etc)

I suppose things get a little less black and white with the potential users in 
between the extremes! When I was getting to grips with Csound, Bob has just 
reminded me, I found Kim Cascone's Bluecube article extremely helpful - it was 
nice to see the opcodes presented in the context of a composition. 

And (perhaps I am a little late with this) I had a fantastic time at LAC2011 - 
most inspiring material and company!
