No, not just geeks, but anyone who is going to be thrown off by the lack of pictures, well, I dearly hope they don't try messing with some of our more advanced hacks like USBNetwork or the perennially fragile font hack.
And as has been observed, your "eye-catching and to-the-point" tutorial has and had flaws.
Accurate tutorials are far more valuable than simple-and-easy-to-follow tutorials.
Tutorials which build on what came before are less prone to bitrot.
Perhaps you would find more acceptance if in your haste to be helpful you didn't come across as dismissive of the attempts that came before you.
And yet, we have never had a lack of people able to follow our more technical guides. And not just techies. 
However, your thread has not been exempt from questions.  Few things are.
Is this tutorial PW2 specific? If so, why? Most devices are NOT the PW2, so wouldn't it be more helpful to write a more generic guide more people could follow?  |
Unfortunately you are very very incorrect about the following statement: "UX must always come after technical correctness." UX comes absolutely first, and then "technical correctness" comes after. I recommend
reading the following article and
even this one, to familiarize yourself with what I was saying. It's a very common mistake to confuse UX and UI, so I don't blame you.
"And as has been observed, your "eye-catching and to-the-point" tutorial has and had flaws." This is a silly statement. Everything has "flaws" when you first build something. It's through iterations that things become closer to perfection
. And I appreciate all the feedback I've received, and have acted upon them quite quickly to implement.

Are we ever going to be able to keep this thread on topic, or do I need to feel like I need to defend myself with every new post that is made? Quite the welcome for someone that's just trying to help the community. I'm appalled that even a moderator is joining this little brigade now.
