One specific way:

Develop a users manual for the admin interface. Yes, I realize that
Construct and Foundation were designed and built to be merely examples of
what can be done. But, a lot of us are using them to build stores up from. I
think that for the most part, very few of us 'remodelers' are making any
real changes to the admin interface. Thus a users manual that describes each
function, and each section, of the existing interface application would be a
tremendous asset. I would work on one, but there are still too many
mysteries in there for me to write one!

Another specific way:

The existing manuals are written for engineer-level minds and not for us
simpler minds. They should be brought down to the 'common man' level, or
else a companion manual: "Interchange For Dummies" developed.
