When you write some new program, what fascinates you is:
1. latest version number.
2. most recent bugs fixed and features added.
3. something terribly clever in one of the algorithms it uses.
When you have never heard of a program, what fascinates you is:
1. who is this program intended for? Who might make use of it? Do I
need a PhD in something, or is this for the novice?
2. what problem does it solve?
3. if it is replacement for something, e.g. ANT, what deficiency does
this new program address?
4. Where can I read more, especially see some sample code to use it?
5. Where can I download it to experiment?

One of the great annoyances in programming derives from the irregularity
of English spelling especially when you have international teams.
I want to find a method or variable, but I don't know precisely
how its is spelled or worded. English is only approximately phonetic.
Letters are randomly doubled. The dictionary often lists variant spellings.
British, Canadian and American spellings differ.I would like to see an
experiment where variable names were spelled in a simplified English, where
there were no double letters.I also think you could add a number of rules
about composing variable names so that a variable name for something would
be highly predictable. You would also need automated enforcement of the
rules as well as possible.
