Yes. Obcure. Your demo program should have a README with it that
explains (in both German and English) what it's all about in plain
non-technical language. It should explain what users should expect
to experience when they run the demo. And the message leaves
much to be desired for both technical types and average users.

Nonsense.

You can obviously be unique and still make attempts to reach a wide
international audience as you're doing by posting to this
newsgroup. But you _must_ make adjustments according to
the audience. I maintain that your demo program requires polishing
for both technical and non-technical users. Please give it some
thought since I'm on your side :)
