Hm, I think you may have the wrong tense.  I think the one basic

question that users will have is: Why doesn't this plugin work?
It's a LV2 plugin, this is an LV2 host.  Why doesn't it appear in the

menu?  Or, if it appears in the menu, why does it appear there but not

actually work at all?  Or, why doesn't it look cool like it does in

the screenshots on the plugin's website, or like it does in

other-host-Y?
In other words, how can we convey the answers to questions like these

to users who haven't actually bothered to read any documentation

beforehand?  (i.e. all users)  And how do we do that without being

really annoying about it (e.g. having half the plugins in the menu pop

up an error dialog when you try to select them)?
