After reading the various replies from 2014 forward, I found it enlightening the evolution of this platform. However, supporting the initial question raised by Bcguy, not all calls for users are for programmers or hard tech people. It sounds like a number of the needed users are also in the soft sciences. We are tech savvy but not wired for all the programs that computer science majors have in their belts. Please remember that if you need these soft science people, the guidance has to be there. Additionally, I can fully understand the need for making the user search and work for themselves in order to get on the right path (it took me quite a while) but that doesn’t mean a hand up at the start wouldn’t have made me more productive earlier.
Just food for thought.
