One of the hard parts about this complaint is that no one can clearly
communicate specific ways that the documentation could be improved.

The difficulty in learning IC/ITL/etc. is directly proportionate to how
much you want to modify foundation.  If one is going to use the stock
foundation template without any modifications, then it stands to reason
that they are not going to have a hard time learning ITL (i.e. you don't
need to).  Similarly, if you want to make simple adjustments, there is a
proportionate amount of time needed to learn the necessary IC way of
doing it.  Also, I didn't really catch the part in your e-mail where you
described "how to develop it".

Have a nice day,
